Cross-Cultural Understanding
"It is a beautiful thing to read about the community of people who spring up to help you with this journey. No matter how tempted I might be to join such an expedition, I am glad to simply read your splendid words. Thanks for the adventures." —Reader comment
Our lives are more interconnected than ever before—across borders, languages, and continents. Spanning the globe along the ancient pathways of the first human migration out of Africa, the Out of Eden Walk highlights these links through the power of multimedia storytelling.
Slow Rather Than
Rushed
A multi-year trek through the major issues of our age, with stories gathered slowly, at the pace of a human footstep. The walk’s thoughtful, immersive journalism is not just about information: It is about meaning.
"In a sea of ephemera, the sturdiest work is only more noticeable." —The New Yorker on the "Out of Eden Walk"
Education
"I think when exposed to the details of others lives, you start noticing your own..." —Annie

Out of Eden Walk has grown into an interconnected learning journey with a robust education mission reaching millions of global readers and inspiring hundreds of thousands of students, educators, journalists, storytellers, and citizens of all ages to learn about and engage with our shared human story.
