ClimbAID is utilising climbing as an intervention tool to create positive change in communities. Our primary focus is on enhancing mental wellbeing, promoting inclusive communities, fostering personal development, and addressing social issues.
People from all backgrounds become part of an inclusive community and build relationships based on trust and a sense of belonging. In doing so, we are promoting social cohesion and peace.
Our projects are based on an extensive and growing body of research that demonstrates the value of sports and climbing therapy to treat mental health problems.
In our climbing sessions, we promote cognitive development and teach social and life skills that are important in everyday life: problem-solving skills, teamwork, communication skills and much more.
As a sport in which women compete with men at the highest level, climbing provides a framework to challenge gender stereotypes. How important it is to take care of our environment is a permanent topic in our climbing sessions.
