  10. Some feedback … • the need of a more robust structure appeared to be crucial for future initiatives • the main challenge to overcome is the cost • With the increasing help of sponsors and a helpful community in adapting the conditions to youngsters, this can be more affordable and valuable in return • Youth enthusiasm around ballooning can also be captured and fostered by gathering different people from different horizon: countries or airsports …
