honorary award for young commitment

A special example of committed youth is the chat platform www.open2chat for voluntary Engagement in the young commitment category. This initiative was launched to offer young people support and is anonymous, free of charge and around the clock. With 31 committed young people who act as peer companions, the platform has already exchanged over 18,000 messages and offers an important point of contact for many who need support.

Katja Heiger, one of the peer companions, emphasizes the advantages of anonymity and the opportunity to grow through this experience. The initiative is a cooperation between different organizations, including the Caritas dioceses and the Ludwig Boltzmann Society. The next training courses for interested peer companions will take place in the coming year, which increases the opportunities for further commitment.

engagement of young people in Austria

Voluntary engagement is widespread in Austria: around 46 percent of the population, in particular 43 percent of 15 to 29 year olds, are active in various areas. The commitment of young people can take many forms, from project -related activities to long -term engagements with management functions. These activities not only offer the possibility of active participation, but can also be crucial for professional and personal development.

The Federal Chancellery has set itself the goal of supporting voluntary activities through clear legal framework and a broad public perception. The promotion of extra -curricular activities and the possibility of receiving financial support from various programs play a central role.

It is obvious that the youth commitment is not only important, but also future -oriented. The coming weeks until the best youth groups are announced will certainly be exciting, and we are excited to see how the competitive area develops. In any case, the young people in Carinthia and East Tyrol have a lot to offer!
