Capture the Calm: Join Our Free Mindfulness & Photography Walks!

The crisp autumn air, the golden leaves underfoot, the low afternoon sun… have you ever wished you could capture that perfect moment of calm on a walk? This year, you can learn how, and so much more.

From October 20th to 26th, we at Stockport Continuing Education Service are celebrating Get Online Week, a national campaign that encourages people to learn one new digital thing. We believe that learning digital skills shouldn't be stressful or stuck behind a desk. It should be fun, inspiring, and connected to the things we love.

That's why we’re excited to invite you to our special Mindfulness and Photography Walks.

What is a Mindfulness & Photography Walk?

It’s exactly what it sounds like! We’ll take a gentle, guided stroll through Stockport town centre, taking time to slow down and notice the little details around us. Along the way, we’ll show you how to use a simple tool many of us already have in our pockets—a smartphone—to capture the beauty you see.

This isn’t about complicated camera settings or technical jargon. It’s about:

• Seeing: Learning to look at the world with a photographer's eye.

• Capturing: Getting simple tips to take clear, beautiful photos on your phone.

• Connecting: Meeting friendly new people from your community.

No experience is needed in either mindfulness or photography. This event is for everyone, especially absolute beginners!

The Digital Skills You'll Learn

While you connect with nature, you'll also be building your digital confidence in a relaxed, supportive environment. Our friendly team will be on hand to help you:

• Take Great Photos: Learn how to use your smartphone’s camera to focus, frame a shot, and capture light.

• Edit Your Pictures: Discover easy-to-use tools on your phone to enhance your photos, such as cropping or adjusting brightness.

• Share Your Creations: We’ll show you how to easily and safely share your favourite photos with family and friends through email or messaging apps.
