PATH- Promoting Activism Through Hiking

2026-07-22

PATH - ‘Promoting Activism Through Hiking’ has the general objective of involving young people in hiking activities as well as enhancing their participation in associative life and civic engagement. The latest Eurostat statistics on the sport participation (updated 2022) show that 65% of young people aged 15-24 practice sport, keep fit or participate in recreational (leisure) physical activities at least once a week. Although this number can be improved, what triggered the idea of PATH was the low engagement of young people in sport associations and federations across Europe. With the PATH project, the consortium has three main objectives: - to involve young people in hiking activities as well as enhancing their participation in associative activities - to enhance communication skills in sports and in particular in hiking associations/federations - to promote European paths through co-design activities Path will achieve the following results: R1 PATH Methodology: a document that will provide a detailed overview of the project methodology. It will consist of a set of strategies, techniques, and tools that the Consortium will design to involve young people in sports associations/federations through outdoor sports activities. R2 E-Paths' campaigns (Booklet): The Booklet will contain the results of the national piloting on the promotion of E-paths and will consist of the promotional campaigns of the sections of the E-paths identified and promoted by young people from Spain, Lithuania and Italy, in cooperation with the staff members of the organisation. The Booklet will contain the principles, methodology and possible activities to be implemented across Europe following the PATH methodology.
