091 | Naturefriends Sports for All
Many people find rest and relaxation in sports and leisure-time activities in nature. For people with a physical impairment, however, it is often difficult ‒ if not impossible ‒ to indulge in such activities. Through the project "Naturefriends Sports for All" – which was implemented by Naturefriends International together with Naturefriends Belgium, Italy, Czechia and Romania – local groups were supported in the planning and development of accessible outdoor sports offers.
Two workshops were held in Austria and Belgium. There, the participants learnt how to implement accessible offers. In addition to raising the awareness for the special needs of people with disabilities, the workshops focused on the practical implementation of accessible activities such as hiking and climbing.
