About this trial
To promote the inclusion of people with disabilities, an outdoor intervention will be conducted involving physical activities with adolescents with and without disabilities. The study will be designed as a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a control group that will not participate in these activities, and will include three time points (pre-intervention, post-intervention, and follow-up). The study will assess sociodemographic, accessibility, socio-emotional, and group cohesion variables.

Rafting, canoeing and kayaking
Other interventionParticipants in the experimental group will attend an informational session on disability and take part in an interactive workshop where they will experience the challenges and sensations faced by people with disabilities to empathize with them and understand their reality.Subsequent to this workshop, participants will engage in a series of activities, beginning with whitewater rafting, followed by canyoning, and concluding with kayaking. These activities are designed to be inclusive, accommodating individuals both with and without disabilities. Following workshops and activities based on smart and active tourism, the personal experiences of people with and without disabilities will be shared, fostering a dialogue that further enhances the understanding of the reality faced by people with functional diversity.
