In the footsteps of history – How communication about local history can promote physical activity outside Nature and physical activity have positive effects on our social, mental and physical health. We know this so the question is: how can we promote physical activity in nature? The project “In the footsteps of history” have worked with historical dissemination as a tool to motivate more people to go out and experience how nature can increase quality of life. We have worked with new forms of dissemination that blend into nature and engages the target groups. We will present the project and evaluation results. And we will discuss new tools and “reasons to go” to get more people outside.

Topic: Outdoor Sports innovations in tackling health inequalities

Objectives:

• Share results and insights from a practical example of how to promote physical activity and get more people outside
• Discuss and develop new practical tools and “reasons to go” to get physical inactive and people unfamiliar with nature more outside

Many of us who work in the outdoor sports sector understand the power of the outdoors. We quickly grasp how it’s helped shape our lives and why it’s so meaningful. Whether it’s at the top of a multipitch, a midday walk through your local park or anything in between, going outdoors is transformative to us. How do we make sure this is a welcoming space to all people, especially those from a disadvantaged background or with fewer opportunities? This is the question that the Beyond Horizons project is trying to answer. The project will help to address the barriers faced by these groups as well as contributing to creating inclusive environments that foster equity and equality, and that are responsive to the needs of the wider community. Learn more about Beyond Horizons at this workshop

Topic: Outdoor Sports innovations in tackling inactivity

Objectives:

• To inform delegates of the Beyond Horizons project

Political priorities and investments in the area of outdoor recreation remain modest at best given its potential for health, public health, environment and sustainable development. This workshop discusses what measures can be used to improve societal investment in outdoor recreation given the results from our latest report indicating a very large increase in economic value of outdoor recreation in Sweden.

Topic: Outdoor Sports innovations in tackling inactivity

Objectives:

• How can "economical evidence" be used to promote physical activity and outdoor recreation?
• How can economical values be used to influence relevant policy-makers to promote outdoor recreation?
• What are the key actors to promote outdoor recreation?
• A higher interest in outdoor recreation might put a burden on nature and the climate. How can we promote sustainability in this context? What are the key actors to promote sustainable outdoor recreation for the future?

In this workshop we will share the experience from Collserola, a Natural Park right in the middle of the Great Barcelona. Too many people, too many interests, too many conflictive situations. Digital tools are not the cause of the problem but contribute to it. At the same time, digital tools could be part of the solution. Meanwhile, managers are confronted with the reality the digital data show. What should they do? Admit the evidence and redefine trails? Or completely ban passage and try to enforce the law? Come and discuss with us on the ongoing “negotiation” process between Collserola and MTBs, hikers, and other stakeholders.

Topic: Outdoor Sports innovations in tackling climate change and environmental issues

Objectives:

• To showcase how outdoor sports and protected areas need to work together for solutions

The rapid increase in the elderly population (not only in developed countries, but also in middle- and low-income countries), often suffering from one or more chronic pathologies or with risk factors for future acute or chronic pathological events, has led to identify HEALTHY AGEING as a prevention, sustainability and intergenerational responsibility strategy. Avid physical activity, possibly outdoors and in a social relationship, and a healthy and balanced diet, represent the best ways to implement this action. Digital services through coaching apps are now available to support these digital therapeutics. Active healthy Ageing: let’s move.

Topic: Outdoor Sports innovations in tackling health inequalities

Objectives:

• Describe the roles of digital solutions to promote lifestyle changes towards healthy habits

- What would the best 'outdoor city' look like? - How can we define 'outdoor' in an urban setting? - What should be the key features of an 'outdoor city'? and - How do we inspire cities to develop and promote themselves to inspire more people to be active outdoors? This interactive workshop will use examples to show how Silkeborg in Denmark and Sheffield in England have developed themselves as 'outdoor cities'. What does it take to be successful? This session will enable all attendees to provide input and feedback into 'what good looks like' and how we can inspire places to promote themselves as 'outdoor cities'. The session aims to inspire, share learning, and connect up like-minded places. Insight will be fed into ENOS's Erasmus STANDOUT project. STANDOUT aims to develop an agreed 'standard' over the next three years to benchmark outdoor cities and build an international network. This will inspire the growth of more places which prioritise the outdoors, helping to tackle inequalities and promote sustainable growth.

Topic: Outdoor Sports innovations in tackling inactivity

Objectives:

• To debate the key features of an outdoor city (to feed into the STANDOUT project)

Nature Walker is an immersive experience that encapsulates walks along nature trails for people which are otherwise – due to people’s physical or psychological impairments – inaccessible to them. By exploring a user centric design wherein focus groups of users suggested features, this project provided an accessible and inclusive mobile application. It brings the beautiful scenic nature to life by 360 degree video capture; giving users a sense of immersion in their surroundings as movement in the real world can be correlated with movement in the 360 degree video with user’s walking correlating to video playback.

Topic: Outdoor Sports innovations in tackling health inequalities

Objectives:

• To provide attendees with a demonstration of an innovative technology-based approach to health that is accessible to a wide range of users with common use mobile devices
