Since 2015, MiR has received a Bufdirs grant, which is aimed towards children living in poverty. The grant is used to arrange trips and activities for families who do not have the opportunity to travel on trips and vacations. Not being able to participate in activities and vacations similar to other children and peers can lead to feelings of exclusion from society. Therefore, this grant has enabled less-privileged families to participate in activities they normally wouldn’t be able to, aiding with inclusion. MiR also wants to give parents and children experiences with activities that they can do themselves later.
The main goal of the project is for more families to participate in activities that they have not done before, receive knowledge on how to arrange similar outdoor activities, and that children/youth feel comfortable in these sorts of activities. The MiR-sponsored activities that families receive knowledge on and insight into are common in Norwegian society.
Through the project, families connected to our local chapters have been able to participate in various trips and activities. You can read about several of the trips and activities that have been carried out in the news articles at the bottom of this page.
