9TH INTERNATIONAL ADVENTURE THERAPY CONFERENCE

The In­ter­na­tio­nal Ad­ven­ture The­ra­py Con­fe­ren­ces (IATC) are held tri­en­ni­al­ly to pro­vi­de gathe­rings for out­door and ad­ven­ture the­ra­py prac­ti­tio­ners, aca­de­mics, re­se­ar­chers, po­li­ti­ci­ans, al­lied pro­fes­sio­nals, and stu­dents wi­thin va­rious fields.

With the con­fe­rence re­tur­ning to Eu­ro­pe, 9IATC was mer­ged with the 3rd Gathe­ring for Ad­ven­ture The­ra­py in Eu­ro­pe (3GATE). Due to the pan­de­mic and the one-year post­po­ne­ment, the 2022 con­fe­rence in Nor­way mark­ed the 25th an­ni­ver­sa­ry of IATC.

As the first hy­brid IATC, of­fe­ring live strea­ming and di­gi­tal pre­sen­ta­ti­ons, the 9IATC/3GATE gathe­red ne­ar­ly 400 at­ten­de­es in Sou­thern Nor­way and 150 on­line par­ti­ci­pan­ts from a to­tal of 42 na­ti­ons. Of the­se, coun­ted 50 stu­dents, 42 vol­un­teers and 18 or­ga­nisers.
