Instawalks

Instawalks turn photography into a collective shared activity. A group of people meeting to explore a place or route together.

Instawalks will have a different theme for each route. The young people will be asked to take snapshots along the walk and post with a specific #Hashtag.

Photos of individuals will be shared with their permission only.

Elgin Academy will have groups walking every Monday and Thursday.

You can book onto an Instawalk using the QR code on our program OR using this link.
