The team of the It’s Great Out There Coalition, an international non-profit organization initiated by the European Outdoor Group (EOG) and run by a volunteer board of experienced industry directors, will be at Ispo Munich on Jan. 26-29. The team will have a presence throughout in the Sustainability Hub in Hall A2 in partnership with Outdoor Brands for Good. Visitors to the trade show are invited to drop by or schedule a meeting through Margo de Lange (margo.delange@itsgreatoutthere.com), who has been the new policy officer since last autumn. The coalition is also inviting applications for #itsgreatoutthere grants until Jan. 31. Since 2017, 17 grants have helped 5,260 mainly young people enjoy new and often life-changing outdoor experiences. Funds are available during 2020, and any non-profit with a suitable grassroots, outdoor-related initiative may apply.
