Three years ago, Opening Up The Outdoors (OUTO) joined the It's Great Out There Coalition, expanding its reach beyond the UK 🌍 Last summer, we took things even further by launching the Changemakers programme in the #DACH region, moving closer to making the outdoors accessible for everyone in #Europe ✨ Last year at Kendal Mountain Festival in the UK and at ISPO, we caught up with #OUTO founders Keme Nzerem and Phil Young: “Historically, there haven’t been many Black or Brown faces in outdoor activities. We wanted to break down barriers and make the outdoors accessible to all.” - Keme For more information, take a look at the amazing work here: https://lnkd.in/eqaJaN6S #OpeningUpTheOutdoors #ItsGreatOutThere

Happy New Year 🎉 As we step into this new year, we want to take a moment to reflect on the past and express our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible support from our brands, partners, and the entire community. Together, we launched two impactful campaigns: the IGOT Grants and the #RePurposeAndBeActive campaign for EWOS, both of which brought us closer to our mission. Our goal is to get Europe active outdoors, and we believe that through motivation, activation, and advocacy, we can inspire individuals and communities to embrace diverse, inclusive, and responsible outdoor activities. As we move forward, we remain committed to this mission and look forward to working together to create even more opportunities for outdoor engagement. Thank you all for your unwavering support and collaboration 💪 Let’s make 2024 a year of getting Europe Active Outdoors 🌍 #IGOT #ItsGreatOutThere

Our mission is to get Europe Active Outdoors—and to show that the outdoors is for everyone! Dennis Ranalter embodies this mission by breaking stereotypes and inspiring the next generation to think beyond borders. IGOT stands for outdoor activity, and we believe Dennis is redefining what’s possible 💪 Last year, @thenorthface presented Descendance, Dennis’s story—a personal journey of self-exploration, where he examines his relationship with his identity and his love of skiing. But beyond his talent, Dennis’s story is a powerful exploration of race, identity, and what it means to be Black in a sport that remains predominantly white. 👉 🎥 Watch here: youtu.be/bBGZnXg0fTA #ItsGreatOutThere
