The first ORN Virtual Conference took place on Tuesday 9th & Wednesday 10th March 2021
Outdoors for All: Building a legacy for inclusion and diversity
ORN believes that now is the time to make positive changes and modernise the outdoor recreation sector, enabling organisations to better connect a wider range of people with nature. The importance of green and blue spaces to health and wellbeing has never been so apparent and is higher up the agenda than ever before.
However, the benefits of being active in the outdoors are not enjoyed equally by all. The conference seeks to be the first step in ORN providing a razor-sharp focus on connecting more people to nature, including underrepresented groups, so that all can reap these benefits. The event explored questions around;
- How do we get more people moving more often?
- What groups are missing from the outdoors?
- What are the barriers to certain demographic groups (e.g., low income, BAME, disabled people etc.)?
- How do we meaningfully engage with underrepresented groups?
- What steps should ORN and the sector take next?
The aim of the conference was to shape ORN’s direction and future work on making the outdoors more inclusive and diverse.
