We want:

The Youth Point St. Ruprecht should be an alternative offer to all children and adolescents in their spare time. The visitors can co-design the Youth Point and thereby give it a familiar note. Through different workshops on youth-specific and health promoting topics the adolescents should be enabled to perceive their health potential. Furthermore adolescents should be enabled to accept and express their experiences and desires, clarify their experiences and articulate their problems.
