Peace Walker will give presentation Saturday
Derek Walker Youngs, who has been walking for peace for the last 18 years, will present a multimedia presentation Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in 110 Willamette.
The 90-minute presentation will include more than 100 images and storytelling from Youngs’ walks in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and North America. There will also be a preview of his documentary, “Walking in Israel,” where he walked 80 kilometers with a group of other Canadians from the Mediterranean Sea to Jerusalem.
According to a release from the Peace Walker Society, Youngs has walked more than 24,000 kilometers in 17 countries. He has gone from “walking for peace to walking in peace,” when he walks without knowing where he will sleep or eat next.
Tickets to the event are a $10 donation and are $5 for students and low-income individuals.
