The focus on young people: What does generation Z move in Carinthia?

In Carinthia, the eagerly awaited Ö3 tour to the youth study begins, which started today in the HLW St. Veit an der Glan. Students, such as Moritz Koppitsch, emphasize the exciting opportunity to present their concerns as part of the “Ask the whole country” format. "I find it very exciting that we can participate," said the young participant, who was actively involved in the topics of discussion with friends. This study examines what generation Z is concerned and what fears and goals it has. Everyone between the ages of 16 and 25 has the opportunity to participate in the study online and share its view to make their own voice heard, as the Ö3 presenter Tina Ritschl emphasizes: "We want to make the 16- to 25-year-olds audible." The topic extends from social expectations to personal challenges, which is of great importance for many young people.

The focus is also on the problem of classic roles in society, especially in the household. Marika Radinger, a student, addressed that there is still a lot of idea that women are responsible for housework. However, their own experiences show that a even distribution of the tasks as it is practiced in their relationship works. These and similar dilemmata will be dealt with on ORF 1 on March 12th from 10:00 p.m. on March 12th. Another important point that many students address is the lack of preparation for life after school. This applies not only to financial knowledge such as filling out a tax return or understanding insurance, but also skills such as coping with stress and time management. Many young people face the challenge of finding their way around in a rapidly changing world, which reinforces the desire for more practice -oriented content in school lessons.

In addition to the classic school subjects, the younger generations would like an apprenticeship that prepares them for the challenges of everyday life. Topics such as digitization, resilience and mindfulness are central to many because they imagine a life in which they are not only consumers, but also active designers of their digital world. The current discussions and events, such as the Ö3 youth study, show that educational institutions are required to align lessons to the needs of the students. Despite certain progress in some schools, there is still a great need for resources and qualified specialists in order to implement the necessary changes across the board. The topics mentioned are not only for the students, but also for the entire society to prepare the next generation for the reality of life.
