Radicalization on the internet or a lack of youth centers - people usually talk about young people rather than with them. Tyrol now wants to do things differently and has come up with an online survey for its new youth strategy. There has already been criticism from the opposition.

"It is often difficult for adults to understand what moves us young people," said Sophie Gruber, winner of the provincial youth speech competition at a press conference on youth yesterday. She emphasized that instead of talking to young people, people often only talk about them.
