Hikes4Happiness: Women’s Mental and Physical Wellbeing Through Sport and Nature

ongoing

Hikes for Happiness: Women’s Mental and Physical Wellbeing Through Sport and Nature aims to contribute to create an inclusive and cohesive, greener, and more digitally fit society. The project will promote and support participation of women (of all ages and backgrounds) in health-enhancing physical activity, and support the mental, physical and social wellbeing of women by combining sport, particularly hiking, educational workshops focused on health & nutrition, diversity & inclusion, and overall well being. With sport activities taking place outdoors, additional attention will be given to developing awareness of ‘green’ sport practices that focus on respect for and protecting natural environments, learning about our natural surroundings and their importance on our physical and mental health and ultimately the sustainability of our communities. Digital learning will be offered by leveraging tools such as online tracking tools, platforms to create and share hiking routes and programs.
