Join us for an evening shared with a special guest!
We’re keen to share climbing insight, experience, knowledge and psych with our Flashpoint community. These guest talks are community focussed and feature a range of speakers, check out the tabs below to see who’s next!

16+ yrs
Organised by STEP and Across the Nation
STEP’s rock-climbing project started in 2017 and has expanded over the years with trips offered to refugee and IDP youth. It has proved extremely popular as demonstrated by the increased demand by the boys and girls. This programme has been used as a pilot project for the development of a therapeutic and potential peacebuilding opportunity for displaced youth from different communities.
This project aims to provide evidence of the impact of outdoor activities on young people from displaced, host, and additional needs communities. The hope is that this project will demonstrate the following:
It is an activity that has a positive impact on participants’ mental health and well-being.
It can be used to promote social cohesion and peacebuilding.
It could be further used and explored in other contexts with differing displaced and vulnerable young people, either in the Middle East or a wider context.
STEP will be showing a short film and then hosting a climb.
Could be you! Email us to get in touch and start planning your visit!
