ADVENTURE IS GOOD FOR YOU
Why is adventurous activity good for you?
There’s a reason why there’s a smile on everyone’s face after they’ve come back from an active adventure – because they’re happier for it! All the stresses of life just melt away as you adventure outside and be active amongst nature.
Adventurous activity helps…
…to spark self-development (practising non-cognitive transferable skills: creativity, problem-solving and critical thinking, adapting to changes)
…to learn how to take care of ourselves – support mental health and well-being (developing resilience, counteracting pessimism)
…to learn how to embrace nature and technology in your life and balance online and offline activities
…to learn how to communicate and collaborate across generations, cultures and religions as a way to bring people together:
- appreciating other people’s competencies
- understanding other people’s needs
- making good use of different perspectives
- promoting partnerships with other organisations
- sharing experiences and resources
“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.” – Eleanor Roosevelt
