"Thanks to the Travel Without Borders Foundation, on August 24-26, I had the pleasure of participating in a meeting of a group of very positively crazy people who decided to experience the adventure of a lifetime by jumping with a parachute. We went crazy!
The "DIVING Without Borders" trip took place July 6-9 in Hel and was dedicated to a group of 20 people, including 16 with disabilities. From the very first minutes in the water, everyone had to "break through" themselves and fortify their character.
Our first ski trip, "White Element on MONO-SKI," took place from March 9th to 12th. Ten people with disabilities participated in the trip, discovering not only the secrets of riding on wheelchair-adapted Mono-Skis, but also getting a chance to try riding handbikes.
On July 14th, we began our second adrenaline-fueled trip, organized as part of the "My Element: Activity!" project, which ran from May 2016 to November 2017 as part of the Civic Initiatives Fund Program run by the Ministry of Family, Labor, and Social Policy. This time, the theme of the trip was supposed to be cycling , but after many conversations and shared dreams, we decided to add another activity to the trip... glider flying .
From June 2nd to 5th, we held the second Journey Without Borders regatta . This was also the first trip organized as part of the "My Element: Activity!" project, which ran from May 2016 to November 2017 as part of the Civic Initiatives Fund Program run by the Ministry of Family, Labor and Social Policy. Thanks to this project, we will have the opportunity to try several active, sometimes extreme, activities. Sailing was the first of these.
We invite you to read the report and impressions from the "Kayaks Without Borders" kayaking trip organized as part of the project "Dignified Silver, Quick Gold - Active Together!" We would like to thank all participants and volunteers for the atmosphere and commitment!

The tasks we set ourselves are sometimes hard to achieve, but as a dreamers we believe everything is possible. We proved it many times!

It wins polish goverment charity contest and is funded by ASOS 2014-2020.

Handbikes/Tandem Bicycles event is planned for September 2015 at Tricity (Gdansk, Gdynia, Sopot - Northern Poland). We will ride with other people in a wheelchairs, blind people and people with other disabilities.
