About this event

Outdoor sports can create inspirational opportunities for people with disabilities and this webinar will provide opportunities to hear about inspirational projects and programmes that will show how we can be more inclusive for people with disabilities, people from socio-economically disadvantaged communities, immigrants and others who are under represented in sport.

The EU White Paper on Sport states that “The specific needs and situation of under-represented groups therefore need to be addressed, and the special role that sport can play for young people, people with disabilities and people from less privileged backgrounds must be taken into account.”

This webinar will provide opportunities to share ideas and discuss opportunities for future projects.

European Network of Outdoor Sports (ENOS)

Working together to promote outdoor sports across Europe

The European Network of Outdoor Sports (ENOS) was established as a not for profit organisation at the Nature and Outdoor Sports Euro’Meet conference in 2013 (Liptovsky Mikulas, Slovakia). Participants recognized that no organization was representing outdoor sports at a European level and called for a representative organization. ENOS became a network of European experts, local authorities, federations, universities, practitioners and outdoor sports enthusiasts. The main objectives are:

· Representing outdoor sports at a strategic level in Europe.

· Promoting that outdoor sport can provide genuine environmental, educative, social and economic benefits to individuals, communities, regions and nations.

· Supporting the organization and management of outdoor sports both on a national and transnational basis.

· Encouraging trans-national approaches to the recognition of leaders, instructors and coaches, to develop mobility and employment.

· Assisting initiatives that promote responsible and sustainable access and use of landscape, marine areas, habitats and eco-systems.
