Pragmatic Pathfinding: reflective walk and talks with my colleagues in children’s services

Abstract

Pragmatic Pathfinding describes an application of Transmaterial Worlding as a reflective walk and talk practice with peers in children's services.  Charlie Chapman talks with colleagues Mark Hendy, Shannon Keogh and Huw Taylor about their experiences of working with families and about their personal connections with other than human members of the environment that they work in.  

The ethics within Transmaterial Worlding are connected to sense making and actions to make a difference as part of interwoven social and ecological justice agendas.  Walking and talking together provides a space to engage with wider contextual issues, engage with others and find forward steps together.
