Photos of the Workshop


In the Gries district, there is a training workshop for the unemployed youth. This „PILOT“ project offers a helping hand to young people and tries to make hidden potentials become real.

Under the guidance of the Belgrade artists, young people created a set of 10 bikes during a several weeks lasting workshop. Skart achieved to smoothly guide the young people’s imagination and their will for creation, making the bikes noticeable as a whole in the end. But what is more important still: The common work on a product which is perceived by a larger audience motivates some people to address their mostly difficult life situations in public.

Visitors of real*utopia can use these bikes to explore Gries. They are available for rent as of May 24 at the INFO*KIOSK* at Griesplatz North.

Bicycle Workshop participants: Grach Petra, Hammer Alexandra, Hohesasser Christian, Kesse Patrick, Kres-Deszi Csaba, Sagmeister Sonja, Scherz Mario, Spreizhofer Daniela
