Photos for a good cause: Ennser Christkind shines in new shine!

In Enns, the hobby photographers Claudia Steinmayer and Andreas Hiebl started a remarkable initiative to help the Ennser Christkind, Sophie Straßmayr. The two committed photographers offer private photo shoots to collect donations for the good cause. "With our time and our skills, we want to help people donate," said Steinmayer. For a donation of 150 euros, interested parties receive a one-hour photo shoot and seven edited pictures that can cover various topics such as pet or family shots. If you are interested in a photo shoot, you can contact Steinmayer directly ( chalar1201@hotmail.com ).

mass shootings and their social effects

During the Advent season in Austria, this campaign provides hopes and beautiful moments, but the topic of mass shootings throws a shadow on social security. According to a Special report of the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), public mass shootings have significant effects on the security feeling of citizens. For over two decades, the NIJ has carried out intensive research to understand the phenomenon of mass shootings, including schools that are also affected. To date, over 60 scientific publications have been published on this topic that indicate the need for further research.

Research has shown that the repeated reports on mass shootings sharply shake public perception of security. In the meantime, people like Steinmayer and Hieble are involved in making a positive contribution through creative projects and raising awareness of social projects.
