Executive Officer
Victoria Walks
Ben has long been a champion of walking – the theme of his PhD was walking in cities.

He loves nothing more than wandering around social and vibrant streets, and watching the world go by. Ben says his most productive meetings, where creative ideas flourish and problems are solved, occur on foot. He also thinks the potential of digital media to get us on our feet is extremely underrated.

Workplaces across Victoria are encouraged to step away from their desks and onto their feet in order to combat workplace physical inactivity.

Technology often gets a bad rap. It is blamed for making us overweight, unhealthy and cut off from the ‘real’ world. Whether PC, TV or mobile, technology can glue us to screens at work, home and in between. It is often seen as undermining our ability to lead healthy and active lives in our communities.
