Since 2000, Walter has taught documentary filmmaking, project development and international co-production for several educational institutions including the Autonomous University of Barcelona, the University of Barcelona, the International University of Catalunya, the Film Academy Baden-Württemberg[2] and ECIB Film School of Barcelona.[3]

In 2016, the Goethe-Institut and Documentary Campus in collaboration with Walter and BWP founded Campus Latino, a non-profit training programme for filmmakers from Latin America, Spain, Italy and Portugal.[4][5] The program focusses on creative development, assists in finding financial partners, and explores "innovative distribution strategies" for the international marketplace.[6]
