Michael Griesser (17) started an initiative against high prices and inflation in Klagenfurt. His first success: From Wednesday onwards, schoolchildren will be able to get kebabs everywhere for just five euros.
Whether in the student council, in the youth council in Klagenfurt or – as is now the case – on his own: 17-year-old Michael Griesser is dedicated to working for young people! “I asked in my area what could be improved for young people,” the committed Klagenfurt resident tells the “Krone”. First project against inflation And because as a striking example of inflation, which particularly affects young people in Carinthia, the increased ones keep coming up When kebab prices were mentioned, Griesser thought about something: “I founded the Education Network Carinthia (ENC) association, which is celebrating its launch with a first project,” explains the HTL student, who, by the way, is an extraordinary student at Klagenfurt University, and in the same breath presents the “Kebab Pact 2024”. 24 shops take part. On his own initiative, he drove to all the kebab shops in Klagenfurt and negotiated with the operators a fixed kebab price of five euros for students: “The initiative is starting next Wednesday. The price is guaranteed until the end of this year’s school year – i.e. until July 10th,” says Griesser, pleased that so far 24 of a total of 27 kebab shops are on board with this idea. “Even if the youth representatives in Carinthia are not always in favor of it Everything is tangible, there is work going on behind the scenes, which becomes visible to the outside world through projects like this!” For many students, the kebab is a practical lunchtime snack during free periods. The members of the “Kebab Pact” can be recognized by the posters and certificates posted.
