Ö3 show Ask the whole country: Youth discusses explosive topics!

The popular Ö3 community show "Ask the whole country" is back on tour and will be a school tour highlight again this year. After the kick-off last year was a great success, the Ö3 hosts Tina Ritschl and Philipp Bergsmann have their sights on a total of six schools in Austria in the coming weeks to discuss current topics with around 200 pupils between the ages of 16 and 18. Important dilemas of young people are discussed, such as the questions: "Start-up or fixing?" And "Club/Disco or Home Party?" The first stop took place on March 5 in St. Veit an der Glan, as oe3.orf.at reported.

The school tour not only includes exciting discussions, but also transforms the school rooms into pop-up-talk-talks. Students have the opportunity to express their opinion on important social issues and to react to the perspectives of others. In order to round off the overall experience, singer-songwriter Esther Graf provided her hits "Vitamin D [U]", "Mama said" and "everywhere" for a musical highlight, supported by her guitarist Hannes Wallner. Further tour stops will take place in Freistadt, Oberwart, Kleßheim, Graz-Gösting and Vienna in the next few weeks. As apa.at , all events are also broadcast on ORF 1, the first episode after stopping in St. Veit on March 12th at 10:50 p.m.

The Ö3 youth study carried out as part of this tour offers a platform for opinion formation among young people. Topics such as beauty filters, meat versus vegetarianism and the advantages of cash or map are illuminated from the perspective of the young people. These discussions promote tolerance to various views and support the process of opinion formation. With the upcoming school stops, the dynamics of the discussion are continued and the voices of young people are heard loudly and clearly.
