Outward Bound® Research continues to show that young people of all backgrounds face challenges at every stage of their education and transition into employment, challenges that too many struggle to overcome. This research also confirms that, outdoor learning changes how young people think and feel about themselves and their lives, by building their personal, social and emotional skills at critical times in their lives.

Other research confirm outdoor learning as an excellent creator of self esteem, confidence, trust, self-belief, leadership, team and group skills, resilience, decision-making, self-responsibility taking, public confidence and courage.
