At a Patagonia storytelling breakfast hosted at Impact Hub Zürich, climbers, community organizers, and outdoor advocates gathered to explore a deceptively simple question: who actually feels at home in the outdoors? Drawing on research, lived experience, and initiatives such as Alpinehearts and Colour Your Trail, the conversation revealed how belonging in nature is shaped not only by landscapes, but also by culture, community, and the invitations that open new paths.

It was not an academic seminar, nor a corporate showcase, but something in between: a dialogue between entrepreneurs, financiers, policymakers, and diaspora leaders about what it really takes to build self-determined futures.
