On Thursday, March 26, 2026, StartWien Hub the Austrian Reading Day was celebrated at the StartWien Hub with a diverse and vibrant program.
Unlike last year, the course instructors designed individual reading sessions specifically tailored to their respective groups. These sessions didn't just involve reading aloud – stories were also told. freely told, shared, and experienced together.
A particular highlight was the childcare:with the support of the childcare workers and course instructors parents read to their own children. This created particularly beautiful, personal and connecting moments.
Throughout the Hub, a linguistic journey around the world could be heard: linguistic world tour German, Arabic, Kurdish, Dari/Farsi, Somali and English – stories from many countries that connect people and create community.
🙏A heartfelt thank you to all childcare workers, course instructors and parents who helped to make this special day possible.
