Karin Mairitsch, book page E.5:
Because future generations are important to me and I wish for their social and cultural development, especially by means of educational system which enables us to live in freedom and maturity, which offers room for development and opportunities which supports us in developing our sense and senses, in discovering talents, creativity, and curiosity, and in taking responsibility. A social and cultural ground which allows us to be and become human beings; which accepts us for who we are and lets us grow into what we are.

The four-part film from March 2021 documents conversations during walks in Salzburg’s Mirabell Park with Karin Mairitsch and friends from Salzburg.
