Does poverty threaten democracy?
How does poverty limit the ability of children and young people to participate in society and in politics? What does social exclusion mean at a time when young people are just beginning to engage in shaping their communities?
These pressing questions will be explored at the Volkshilfe Symposium on November 18, where prominent experts from research and practice will come together for insightful discussions.
Join us live from 2 pm.
Our speakers include:
Erich Fenninger, Director of Volkshilfe Austria, on the role of NGOs in democracy
Tamara Ehs, Democracy Consultant for municipalities and cities
Magdalena Schwarz, Youth Policy Specialist at the Vienna Chamber of Labor
Fabian Reicher, Author & Social Worker at the Center for Counseling on Extremism
Judith Ranftler, Head of Social Work, Social Research, and Social Policy at Volkshilfe Austria
