A world without barriers International Outdoor Network In September 2012 over 30 people from Scotland, England, Norway and Denmark took part in the first Deafblind International (DbI) Outdoor Network gathering at Glenmore Lodge Outdoor Centre in the Cairngorms. They experienced challenging journeys along difficult mountain paths, river crossings, canoeing over lochs and of course the chance to socialise and share their different cultures. The event organiser was Joe Gibson, Sense Scotland’s Outdoor and Physical Activities Co-ordinator. He said: “This is the first year that we met as the DbI network. It’s a chance to try different activities based in the outdoors, to share different experiences and ideas, and explore different cultural perspectives of the outdoors.” Håkon Lie, Andebu Deafblind Centre Norway: “…if you are talking about sensory experiences, then wind and rain, it’s really something you notice.” Angus, Support Worker, Glasgow (winner of Staff Inspiration Award) – accompanied Marshall: “When he did finish the walk he was laughing and that’s a good indicator that he’s thinking, ‘Yeah I’ve done that. It was great. It was difficult but I did it’…” To watch a short film on the DbI Network visit our YouTube channel.
