Beyond Maps: Orienteering for Youth Development
Beyond Maps is a project aimed at making orienteering more accessible and exciting for young people in Greece, Austria, and Latvia. Through training events, competitions, and workshops, we promote movement, mental well-being, and social connection.
​
​The project tackles sedentary lifestyles, poor mental health, and social isolation through training events, competitions, and educational resources. This European collaboration includes research, workshops, and outreach efforts to make orienteering more accessible and impactful for youth and underrepresented groups.
What's in store?
Beyond Maps: Orienteering for Youth Development is a Small-scale Partnership in the field of sport aiming to promote the benefits of orienteering in order to support the well-being of young people across Greece, Austria, and Latvia. Recognising sport as a powerful tool for fostering physical health, mental resilience, and social cohesion, the project seeks to raise awareness and increase participation in orienteering, a versatile and accessible sport that combines
outdoor physical activity with navigation skills.
