Between 9 -12 February 2023, the ERA Board meeting was held in Strasbourg (F).
The ERA Board agreed to become a partner in these further projects:

Co-Trek – Engaging young people in trekking and associative activities through co-design (with the leadership of Trekkify) – integration of youth into the common projects with adults

The aim is to bring together different actors in a collaborative design: federations and young people coming together to find common solutions. In addition, the need of involving young generations in the project will be achieved by having in the consortium two organizations (from Spain and Lithuania) that work directly with young people.
ERA will prepare a questionnaire concerning youth in our MOs. The project will mainly invest on research, why we don’t have youth in ERA, what the conditions for youth are.
A resumé concerning youth can be developed with the interested ERA MOs in the future with own projects, with greater budgets.

Status: a preparation phase for an application
Inclusive Hiking project (with the leadership of EUMA) – guidelines and special hikes for disabled people

This project aims to strengthen the development of physical activity as a means of comprehensive growth of participation, relaxation, recreation, entertainment, learning and social inclusion for young people with special needs. Some of ERA’s MOs have also experiences with disabled persons. The results of the projects are: Inclusive Hiking Guide, 12 Inclusive Hikes, Charity Campaign.
