„Schriftlos heißt nicht sprachlos“ – Voices that become visible

In the newly published edition of „Schriftlos heißt nicht sprachlos – Meisterstücke“ (published by the Zentralen Beratungsstelle für Basisbildung und Alphabetisierungyoung people from the project Basisbildung Interface Wien are once again contributing as authors. Their contributions on pages 8, 27, 63, 87, 98, 103, 125, 146 and 148 offer insights into very different life realities and at the same time reveal common themes: the courage to make a new start, the struggle for language, the desire for education, independence and belonging.

Writing becomes an important tool for processing experiences, sharing thoughts, and developing new perspectives. The young people talk about arriving in Austria, about school and learning, about everyday challenges – but also about hope, goals, and confidence in their own abilities.

The publication makes clear how important it is to open to young people new spaces, in which they can try things out, express themselves and show themselves – beyond exams and performance pressure.
