Objectives

With Wild Kids for Accessible Outdoor Learning, we aimed to create an international, safe, welcoming and genuinely accessible educational space in a rural and mountainous context such as Lama dei Peligni (Majella National Park), where non-competitive movement could become a tool for connection, expression and participation. The main objectives of the project were to: - involve young people with fewer opportunities (from rural or peripheral areas and facing social, economic, cultural or disability-related barriers) by offering a community-based experience grounded in care, respect and body neutrality; - promote a culture of accessibility and anti-ableism in sport, education and community life, valuing the active participation of people with different levels of autonomy; - disseminate low-cost, self-organised and replicable movement practices (acroyoga, slackline, joëlette trekking, yoga, mindfulness, ecstatic dance), understood as educational tools rather than performance-based activities; - make Erasmus+ opportunities more accessible and understandable for young people who rarely engage with European programmes, increasing awareness, confidence and the capacity to design follow-up actions in their local contexts; - strengthen personal and social competences (cooperation, communication, emotional awareness, shared responsibility and active citizenship) through non-formal education and outdoor learning methodologies.
