The HAK Althofen: Ambassador school for European values

The Althofen trade academy was awarded on October 18, 2023 in the impressive framework of the House of the European Union in Vienna. She is now entitled "Ambassador School of the European Parliament". This renowned recognition brings the school into a network of over 2,000 educational institutions throughout the EU, which are committed to the values and principles of European democracy.

The initiative of the ambassador schools was launched in order to sharpen the awareness of young people for the European Union and their institutions. It is about motivating the students to actively deal with European democracy. MEP Hannes Heide, who presented the award, emphasized the importance of young people and their active participation in the design of the EU future: "Your voice is central to the future of the European Union."

a sign of European values

in Carinthia, HAK Althofen is one of only two schools that this special award deserves this year. This sets a strong sign of promoting European education. In addition to theoretical knowledge, the program also includes practical implementations such as projects, workshops and exchange opportunities with other schools in Europe. This interaction allows students to expand their knowledge and gain valuable experience.

The ambassador schools offer a variety of opportunities for young people. You can participate in various European events, network with peers from other countries and expand their skills in areas such as understanding of democracy, communication and project work. The offer of the HAK Althofen, which is characterized by a high practical relevance and international orientation, is further enriched by these new possibilities. These experiences not only contribute to the personal development of the students, but also to an in -depth understanding of the role of the EU in their life.
