In this interview, we talk to Valerie Thatcher, an activist, author, and initiator of the Walk for Europe, about the life-changing experience of travelling through Europe by foot to encourage a conversation about the EU. In 2019, motivated by the indifference towards Europe and the lack of interest in the upcoming European election, Valerie set out on a journey to promote voting, walking more than 750km from Lyon to Brussels. In 2021 she took up the challenge once again, crossing 12 Central and Eastern European countries and walking more than 1400km.

To find out more about Valerie's work, check out her book "A Walk for Europe" and follow her on Facebook, Instagram, and Linkedin.
