Reporter weeks at the Vienna Children’s University

Discover, explore, get involved – “Doing good together!”

One thing we all know is that we can achieve more together. That’s why it’s so important that there are people who volunteer – whether it’s for animals, the environment or people in need. We ask what volunteers actually do and find out how we can get active, too!
