regional strategy south-west-styria - EU-Regionalmanagement ...

Regional Strategy:
- Collection of existing offers
Measures:
- A municipality QuickCheck focus youth will be conducted covering the entire area of the
region to collect information about existing infrastructure, leisure facilities, participation
offers, mobility and possibilities of information. This will be conducted in cooperation
with the province of Styria FA6a, beteiligung.st – department for citizens, children and
youth participation and the Association for open youth offers
- Compaction of this data by young people and regional actors
Representation of existing infrastructure for young people:
- Offers for young people which are deduced from the municipality QuickCheck will be
provided online and made transparent in appropriate channels for young people,
stakeholders and regional actors
- Transfer of the results to regions, municipalities and youth centers
The planning of necessary offers:
- With the planning of necessary additional offers a regional discussion process will be
initialized due to the results together with departments, young people and political
actors. This will be mainly done by the regional youth management.
- Regional survey of demand in cooperation with departments and the province of Styria:
where is need for mobility offers to be able to use leisure facilities, where is need for new
offers, which and for whom?
- Implementation of concrete regional projects (youth centers, streetwork, school social
work, mobility offers)
According to the principle: “staying before commuting before leaving”: creating incentives for
young people that make them stay in the region during and also after their period of education;
or at least to make them prefer the option of commuting to moving away from their region (for
instance by providing cheap housing for young people, young families, support of mobility,
childcare facilities, etc.)
- Discussion with regional actors about realization options
- Discussion process about new models with regard to coexistence and mobility (for
instance generation-spanning living, market for rideshare opportunities)
- Realization of concrete regional projects as good practise examples
