>Preamble:
>
>The 'outdoor industry' provides or makes available outdoor adventure experiences
>for a variety of purposes including, education, youth and social work, management
>development, therapy, leisure and recreation. In most cases, but not all, these
>experiences occur in 'natural' environments. Consequently, diverse outdoor
>traditions have been built not only on relations with specific geographical
>landscapes, but also shaped by particular cultural, social and political contexts.
>Arguably, such outdoor experiences are rarely subjected to critical analyses,
>where they may be located within broader theoretical frameworks. The intention
>of this international conference is to provide a forum for critical discussion
>around 'adventure' and the 'outdoors'.

It is difficult to say what is impossible,
for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today
