C.E.U. Centro de Escalada Urbana

O Projeto CEU (Centro de Escalada Urbana) é uma iniciativa comunitária que quer tornar a escalada mais acessível aos jovens das comunidades do Rio de Janeiro. / CEU is a movement to promote climbing culture for underprivileged youth in Rio de Janeiro. Rock climbing and mountaineering are incredibly healthy and well-rounded activities, which combine physical, mental, and technical skills with a heightened awareness and contact with the environment. Anyone who climbs understands the profound effect it can have on people and how effectively it helps to create stronger, healthier and more
focused individuals. It is the first school of its kind in all of Brazil, focused on making rock climbing more accessible and using it as an innovative and engaging tool to promote self-confidence, a healthy/
active lifestyle as well as greater appreciation and respect for the environment. Our goals at C.E.U. are to:
- Creating a safe space and trustworthy group of friends.
- Help build self-confidence as well as more focused and health conscious lifestyles.
- Introduce a fresh and exciting sport that has previously been inaccessible to the under-privileged communities of Rio de Janeiro, as well as help train a new generation of Brazilian climbers.
- Help create a stronger appreciation and respect for the environment by exposing youth to Rio de Janeiro’s extensive natural beauty
- Create income-generating opportunities for youth interested in working as local tourism guides or by managing the rock gym. Contact: www.escaladaurbana.com
