Successful project days: education, music and commitment in Waidhofen!

Last Friday, June 20, 2025, the project days took place in the BG/BRG Waidhofen, which were a complete success. This event offered the pupils: inside the 6th and 7th grades the opportunity to deal with topics such as physics, biology and music in an interactive way. The program was organized by the association "Friends of the BG/BRG Waidhofen", which is greatly rooted in the region and always creates exciting initiatives, such as meinzirk.at reports .

For the 6th grades, workshops for personal development were on the program. The two speakers, Markus Josl and Christopher Führer, gave valuable insights into the Mindset topic. In addition, the first federal, community service and voluntary social year (FSJ) trade fair took place for the sixth graders. Here they were able to find out about various institutions and opportunities. The partner organizations present included the Red Cross Waidhofen, the Caritas Waidhofen, the military music Lower Austria and the day care center and the Waidhofen hospital. These institutions presented their service and promoted future community service providers, such as redeskreuz.at .

insight into career opportunities

The 7th grades had their own agenda: an application coaching with former school students, Martin Bogg, Bernhard Stellner and Andreas Fröhlich. Here the young people received helpful tips for creating resumes and practicing them in simulated interviews. The association's chairman, Bernhard Stellner, drew a positive balance: "The students showed great interest, many were actively involved in the workshops". In addition, there was the opportunity to take part in a competition, in which five times two tickets for the popular Waidhofner Volksfest were raffled off.

The folk festival, which is very popular in the region, needs both employees and sponsors from the area to successfully take place. In order to support the local economy, numerous companies are already involved.

Information about community service and FSJ

The project days not only made the way of working for natural sciences and music, but also opened the student: inside also an insight into the world of community service and FSJ. Participation in the civil service at the Red Cross, as well as in an FSJ, offers young people the opportunity not only to make a valuable contribution to health and social affairs, but also to develop personal skills.

Last but not least: There is still a practical tip for all drivers in the region. The petrol and diesel prices in Lower Austria can fluctuate considerably. Fueling in the morning is recommended, as the price increases are only carried out once a day at 12 noon. A list of the cheapest petrol stations is updated daily and can help to do good business when refueling.
