What is the purpose of this tool?

Nature and outdoor sports should be accessible by everyone and it is currently a challenge. The main aim of this toolkit is to support the outdoor sports sector to engage, connect and empower disadvantaged young people in mountain and outdoor sports activities.

It offers research, learning experiences, best practices, and a variety of tools designed to help you overcome barriers to outdoor sports participation and inspire you to make outdoor recreation accessible to more young people.
