The Event
On Monday
evening we headed down to Innsbruck
to participate in an event about youth unemployment and to meet youth/social
workers from thirteen different countries. There were also some VIPs like the
Director of the AK (Arbeiterkammer), the Prime minister from Tyrol
and two regional ministers. The event started with a short movie about a young
lady who participated in an earlier project called “Rueckenwind”. After that we
listened to some speeches from the regional ministers, the Director of the AK,
and a youth worker named “Petra Klein” who made a speech about “What is Inclusion
TV”. In my opinion the speeches were very political but we found out about some
important information and statistics such as:
- In July 2013, the youth
unemployment rate was 23.4% in Europe.
- The lowest rate of youth
unemployment was observed in Germany
(7.7%), Austria (8.7%)
and Malta
(10.6%)
- The highest rates were observed
in Greece (62.9%), Spain (56.1%) and Croatia (55.4%)
It’s a
shame that I couldn’t get an interview with one of the VIPs because they have a
lot of knowledge about this topic and it would have been a pleasure to speak to
them. All the speeches where held in German. But there was a professional translator
who translated everything for people who couldn’t speak German. During the
event two participants named Isabella and Josephine of Inclusion TV hosted
together with Leo and Sven and Katharina filmed a lot of the event. After the
speeches we had an awesome meal. Now came the time to learn more about the
social workers. The reporting Team (Karolina, James and Deniz) interviewed some
of the people and took pictures of everyone who came. The event was a good
chance to get connections to other countries and in my opinion it was a great
night.
