Irish followers of Outdoor-Based Therapies .... check out our website describing our upcoming networking events:

1) Conference in ATU Mayo Nov 10th
2) Online talks. Every Wednesday evening until the conference.

All events are free (funded by the Wheel). The purpose is to engage and learn from experts in the international field and gain insights into what's happening in Ireland in this area.

Why have we set these events up?
It's easy: to spread the word and promote valuable projects. There are amazing outdoor based therapeutic programs happening all around Ireland. Each with their own unique approach and style. The impacts of such programs are getting more recognized and we hope to learn from each other while also get the word out for people who could benefit from such programs.

An interactive, day long conference taking place at the ATU Mayo Campus in Castlebar.It will bring together practitioners, researchers, funders, policy makers and academics within the field of adventure therapy and outdoor education.
