We’re super excited to share this inspiring and powerful video featuring one of our Youth Adventure Trust ambassadors, Belinda Kirk, delivering a TEDx Talk on the transformative power of outdoor adventure in building confidence and resilience in children.
In her engaging and thought-provoking TEDxSwansea talk, Belinda shares personal stories, insights, and compelling research on how adventure can change lives. Having led thousands of people into the wilderness, she has seen first hand how the challenges of the outdoors can turn fear into confidence, despair into hope, and uncertainty into self-belief. Belinda’s talk perfectly aligns with our mission, highlighting the psychology behind why adventure is such a vital tool for mental health and resilience.
Through her work, Belinda champions the same values that are at the heart of the Youth Adventure Trust – encouraging young people to step outside their comfort zones, embrace challenges, and discover their own strength. Watch the video below to see how she is inspiring young lives and reinforcing the life-changing impact of adventure.
