About this study
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.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Rafting, canoeing and kayakingOther
Participants 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.
DivulgationOther
: Students will participate in a workshop on disability awareness. The workshop will be the same for this group and the group participating in outdoor physical activities. During the workshop, students will learn about disabilities and experience a simulation using eye masks and tongue depressors to simulate visual and speech impairments.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Perception of accesibility (Physical and Social Accessibility Scale)
This scale measures perceptions of accessibility in one's environment, focusing on physical and social aspects and considering how social interactions and inclusion influence daily life. A Likert scale ranging from 1 ( "extremely inaccessible") to 5 ( "extremely accessible ") was used to measure these perceptions.
Measured: Through study completion, an average of one month
Perception of group cohesion (Group Environment Questionnaire)
Assesses the perceptions of group cohesion. This questionnaire includes factors related to personal attraction to group tasks, personal motivation toward the social group, engagement in group tasks, and group-social unity.
Measured: Through study completion, average of 1 month
Perception of attitudes towards inclusion (AISDPE)
This scale consists of 17 items divided into two dimensions: cognitive perception (seven items) and behavioral intention (ten items). The scores were determined using a Likert scale ranging from 1 ("strongly disagree") to 5 ("strongly agree").
Measured: Through study completion, an average of one month follow up
