THE Outward Bound Trust is looking for the one million plus people who have participated in an Outward Bound course since its inception in 1941.
For nearly 70 years, generations of young people have been having the same intense Outward Bound experiences and we would like to hear about them. Over the decades the mountains have been just as daunting, the weather just as unpredictable and the water just as icy. At the same time, the trials, the triumphs, the highs, the lows and above all, the learning, have been equally powerful. There are a million stories of personal growth, adventure and fulfilment waiting to be told and shared.
The Trust has created a unique space http://www.outwardboundgenerations.org.uk">www.outwardboundgenerations.org.uk for all the generations of Outward Bounders to share their stories. We want to place the different generations of Outward Bounders in the same 'room' online and give them the chance to share their stories. 'Generations' will create a new community of shared experiences that reach across the decades.
