Fermanagh and Omagh District Council is hosting a workshop Omagh for groups supporting children, young people and adults with a disability. They will offer the opportunity to enjoy a range of nature based and outdoor play activities in accessible spaces.
The ‘Nature Makes Sense’ workshops will take place in Grange Park, Omagh on Wednesday 19 March 2025. There will be four slots available between 10.15 am and 2.15 pm with two sessions for over 18s and two sessions for under 18s.
The Council’s Climate Action, Community and Wellbeing and Access and Inclusion Teams will be joined by staff from Cuilcagh Lakelands UNESCO Global Geopark and The Conservation Volunteers to deliver the activities, which will incorporate sensory elements. Participants will explore the local environment, learn about nature and develop skills whilst having fun along the trail, all at your own pace. It is also hoped that the workshops will empower group leaders to lead on activities in outdoor spaces near them. It is widely recognised that learning and socialising in the outdoors is beneficial to health and wellbeing and these events aim to showcase this.
