Long description:
The Norwegian Trekking Association’s (DNT) local branch, DNT Romsdal, organizes DNT Adapted events every month. The goal of DNT Adapted is that through joint and adapted activities, people with different functional levels can experience an inclusive and good arena for meeting and having fun together with others. The target groups include everyone with different needs for adaptation and their families, friends and support staff.
The monthly events are carried out in all seasons of the year, and includes for instance short hikes in the forest, skiing activities, visits to open activity farms etc. The activities are is carried out in the afternoons, which is normally a time of the day with few activities for the target group.
DNT Romsdal is collaborating with several local stakeholders depending on the chosen activities. The regional municipality contributes with financial support so that DNT Romsdal can focus on the activities. The regional confederation of sports is contributing to the project by engaging and supporting local sport clubs. An important collaboration partner is the Molde University College and the students from the social care education programme. In addition, volunteers from the target group assist in the implementation of the activities.
