“Together with other young people from the district, we were able to organize the first round of the youth team on Monday. The goal is to incorporate our concerns into the 2020 mission statement. Of course, we hope that our suggestions will be implemented in our region in the future. At the moment we are still busy collecting ideas, typical topics include transport, culture and infrastructure in rural areas. We look forward to the next meetings.”
– Sebastian Kettner and Johann es Schiefer (2 Lw class of the HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein)
This youth participation process is intended to specifically highlight the perspectives of young people and incorporate their concerns into the new mission statement. The aim of this first workshop was to define categories of regional development that should be addressed at further meetings.
