Today we are going to tell you about our day. First there was a press conference about Inclusion TV and the unemployment of youth. Leo started the press conference by welcoming everyone. He explained what we do in Inclusion TV and how they started their partnership. After that, Paul informed the audience how Inclusion TV started. Paul ended his speech and Anna and Manuel explained what they have experienced. Nina from the German national agency also spoke to the audience and told us what the national agencies in Europe want to do for projects like Inclusion TV.

Anna and Manuel

After the speeches the audience had the chance to ask some questions. A question for example was if the social/youth workers found a solution for the unemployment of youth. Leo answered that they have some ideas like making the jobs attractive for the young peoung people need more opportunities and that these opportunities need to be individual. Another question wple. If the jobs are not interesting the youth would lose its motivation to do these jobs. He also said that the yoas if we should get the youth to do paid jobs or unpaid jobs because in some countries there are no jobs anymore. And the answer of Leo was that it could be better for the young people to go to projects like Inclusion TV. This is because the activities on projects like this are not about whether you get paid or not but instead, about the abilities of the youth and the individual.

Before lunch the Director of the AK (Arbeiterkammer) held a very short speech and Tirol TV a regional TV-station took some pictures of the participants and everyone involved in Inclusion TV.

At 2 o’clock the TV-Team broadcast the Inclusion TV News. They showed a short film about the event on Monday and what the social workers thought about the event.

After the film Karolina and Sophia (from the Reporting Team) were invited on stage to talk with the presenters Isabella and Josephine about how they made the film.

Ali Mahlodji

Later in the day, Ali Mahlodji a social worker from Austria talked about the project he is involved with. He started the project called Watchado. It’s a website full of videos, about the different jobs that people do. Afterwards the film is uploaded on to the website, young people can check the interviews and films and can see if there is a job they like. If you want to check out this project, go to this website:

After the speech of Ali the social workers and the young people had to make a 30 sec Video. The videos will be judged later today and the winner gets the “Inclusion Oscar”.

In the evening we had free time and we could either go to Innsbruck or we could stay at home.
What we got up to, will be a secret.
