Walking 2 WILD10

The next world wilderness congress will take place in October in Spain. We want to be there, but to get there - we want to walk! Do you want to walk with us?

Every four years, a world wilderness congress is organized by the Wild Foundation. In October 2013, WILD10 will take place in Salamanca, Spain. At this event, there will be special components specifically for young professionals/adults (19-30 years old) called CoaltionWILD.
WE want to be there! - but to get there - we want to walk!

This project would start one week before the conference begins (4.10), and the group would meet at a designated location in Spain, that is approximately a 7 day hike to Salamanca, and from there we will walk to the conference.
The walk will be designed as a “Mobile Training” – a mixture of hiking/walking each day mixed with personal development, deep nature connection, and team building activities as well as interactive workshops to prepare the participants for the WILD10 conference. Depending on the funding line (Youth Exchange or Democracy) we will need to focus the program based on the guidelines.
