The heart of the strategy process was the dialog with young people as well as with people and institutions who work with young people on a daily basis. Both online and in person, young people were able to share their needs on the topics of work & education, internationality & interculturality, individuality & society and climate & sustainability. 30,000 inputs from more than 6,700 young people and 130 experts have now been incorporated into the results of the Upper Austrian Youth Strategy. The resulting strategy is a powerful outcome that captures the collective voice of Upper Austria’s young people and focuses on their visions for the future.
Strategic goals and fields of action were derived from the extensive source material, which will serve as a guideline for extracurricular youth work in Upper Austria in the coming years.
