7. “Grätzlmarie” projects: focus on the environment

7.3 Greening the forecourt of the Arthaberbad youth centre

The forecourt of the youth centre in Arthaberplatz square was provided with raised beds and seats, involving the young people in the remodelling work. They learned to handle tools and wood and were given practical information about plants and animals. Through this group work, the young people assumed responsibility for their collective future.
