The Campaign seeks to show that life is best approached in a spirit of exploration, adventure and enterprise; to influence and better inform attitudes towards risk; to build wider recognition that chance, unforeseen circumstances and uncertainty are inescapable features of life and that absolute safety is unachievable; and to demonstrate that sensible education and preparation enable an appropriate balance to be achieved between risk & safety and achievement & opportunity.
The main objective of this event was to attract the leaders and opinion-formers from across society and from different areas of interest and expertise – business, education, entrepreneurial activity, the voluntary sector, the law and government – to come together for a period of intense debate and discussion . The aim of the consultation was to explore the question: ‘What is the contribution that healthy adventure and exploration makes, and could be making, to all aspects of society if we were able to remove the blocks and free-up opportunity?
