Fo(u)r Society
Why do people work for others? We met four people in Vienna to find an answer to this question.
Martial Youth
Young people in Vienna are learning values through combat sports
Walking into the school sports hall the air is thick with the sound of kicks. Here the kids of Austria practice combat sports and learn its values. With the training their teachers try to keep them away from the troubles of youth.
Let’s Work
While the overall number of unemployed people in Austria is sinking, the number of unemployed disabled people is rising.
We took a look at what does it mean to be a disabled person on the job market?
A Way Out Of Waste
Reading the news can be depressing. One ‘record summer’ follows another, plastic pollutes our oceans and people still starve to death while 1/3 of our food production ends up in the trash.
But there’s hope.
This is a story about three ambitious projects and the people behind them.
HURDY GORDIY
Born in the summer of 2018 in small wooden workshop in Lviv in western Ukraine she is nothing but a very young lady. She looks the epitome of elegance and like the city she was born in, she is a mix of both past and present as well as east and west. She is a traditional Ukrainian instrument built in a modern, western style.
Branding Lviv
Young, emotional, modern: These are just some of the words you hear, when you tell people you are going to visit Lviv. The largest city in western Ukraine is growing into a popular tourist destination and each year more and more people from all over the world want to spend a couple of days here.
MIND THE GAP
After the eager industrialization of the Soviet Union came to a rest in the 90s, working class areas in Lviv are filled with empty factory buildings causing a sense of urban blight. Jam Factory is a revitalization project aiming at offering new cultural life to a historic factory building in the district of Pidzamchè. But the project risks pushing the local people out through gentrification, if necessary measures are not taking into consideration.
MURALIZATION
Lviv is a colourful city and the buildings are no different. All over Lviv you will find eye catching murals painted directly on the walls. The word “mural” originates from the Latin word “murus”, meaning “wall”.
GRANDPIXELS.
Community, cognitive challenges, fun. Young people report gaining lots of positive things from gaming. Still, old people hardly get electrified from this concept. Is there a tendency in the world of video gaming to neglect the older audience? And if so, why?
The Space We Share
When everything in a city is given a certain function, what happens to the freedom that comes with a place that per definition does not have one?
