Arts in Development

create  collaborate  connect
so that everyone can live a meaningful life

~~~

because every moment matters

~~~ 

We build a Library of Moments by making reminders of significant moments

We can also draw on these moments
to make guides that help us learn from our experience
and maps to find our way forward

~~~

The library of moments from walks in development has
100’s of moments guides and maps
all on the back of a postcard!

Moments

Moments are the steps we collect on our journey
the experiences, thoughts and ideas that occur to us

~

What is in your Library of Moments?

~

In the Walks in Development Library of Moments
each moment has a question, a reflection and an invitation 
to further development 

The Library is organised alphabetically based on a key word
that indicates a process (guide) or an action (map) it can help us develop

~ 

Who can you share moments with?

Guides

Guides help us learn from our experience

and navigate complexity and change

~

What are you navigating?

~

One way to process our moments is to go for a walk:

Choose a moment to consider
focus in turn on
your own development,
your impact on others
the wider implications of your actions
record the moments you experience along the way
and allow them to guide you 

~

Who can you walk with?

~

The Walks in Development Library of Moments includes guides to:
Value your experience
Navigate complexity and change
Find a positive way forward

~

Which moments help guide you?

Maps are a simple way to see how everything is connected

They show us how each moment contributes to our development
as individuals, groups and communities

and help create the connection
that makes our actions meaningful

~

How can you organise your development?

~

The Walks in Development Library of Moments includes maps to:
Gather your research
Develop your practice
Make long-term plans

~

We are all in development
walking parallel paths
and asking the same questions along the way

~

How can we support each other?

Keeping a journal helps keep us in development

~

Use a journal to
Record significant moments 
Implement and revise your guides and maps
Identify next steps for the day ahead

~

Our collective journal has daily moments and weekly guides and maps to get us started

~

How can you encourage people
to create, collaborate and connect?

Every moment matters

Every moment contributes towards our shared library of moments

Every contribution counts

Thank you for your support and encouragement!

“I recommend Arts In Development as a tool for individuals and organisations, for one-to-one and cooperative working; his holistic approach helps untangle knots and brings out strengths with great positivity”  (Tara Downs, Miniature Museum )

“David is quietly rebellious and innovative and has created a new model of creative development, based on walks.  I’d recommend diving in deep to explore his approach”  (Elspeth Penny, 2BU Productions)

Walks in development have been a source of exploration, a way to connect with other creatives and an amazing space for self discovery.  David has a unique ability to create warm and welcoming environments that provide equal measures of support and motivation”  (Grace Kress, ShelbyXStudios)
