The Federació d'Entitats Excursionistes de Catalunya (FEEC) held several training workshops in Olost on March 3rd to promote inclusion and access to natural spaces.

The sessions took place at Institut Castell del Quer and Escola Terra Nostra in Olost. This project stems from a collaboration between the FEEC Inclusion Area and the University of Vic (UVic-UCC) to raise awareness about functional diversity.
Primary and secondary students learned to use specialized equipment such as Joëlette all-terrain chairs, directional bars, and Blind-NW devices. The workshops were led by third-year Sports Science students from UVic.
The event featured Jordi Molas, a university professor and advocate with reduced mobility. The initiative emphasizes the importance of equal opportunities and ensuring that personal circumstances do not restrict access to outdoor activities.
