Future in Burgenland: Young people design green ideas for Europe!

Today, a remarkable day was celebrated for the young generation in Pinkafeld! State Councilor Leonhard Schneemann opened an exciting interactive event in which around 100 students from HTL and HLW Pinkafeld and the state vocational school took part in a World Café. Under the motto "Europe in my school", as part of the EU initiative #euinmyregion, young people should playfully explore the importance of the EU and its influence on their region. Schneemann emphasized that a joint approach was necessary to master economic and ecological challenges in the future, while education director Alfred Lehner emphasized the need for education in democracy. The participants were able to exchange their thoughts on topics such as sustainable development and the role of the EU and even take part in a digital scavenger hunt that deals with EU-financed projects that serve sustainability, reported burgenland.at .

A sweet visit to a traditional company

In addition, State Councilor Leonhard Schnünemann visited the renowned Conditory shop Ulreich in Pinkafeld, which is known for its delicious specialties such as foam rolls and punch donuts. In a conversation with the master of confection Helmut Ulreich, future plans and investments were discussed that are essential for strengthening Burgenland business locations. Schneemann emphasized that this type of investment is crucial to promote the domestic economy in the current uncertain global situation. The family business, which has existed since 1926 and is now employed by around 130 people, plays an important role in the regional economy and shows that courageous steps are important in the crisis, such as meinbezirk.at reported.
