Welcome to a new and exciting episode of “Eiles and the adventures of life” - the podcast that takes an unvarnished and inspiring look behind the scenes of life! Today I am delighted to welcome Claudia Plakolm, an impressive woman who managed to enter Austria's political stage at a young age for youth, digitalization and civilian service.

At the age of 27, she was one of the youngest state secretaries in the country and has since had a remarkable political career. In our interview, we talk about the challenges of gaining a foothold as a young woman in a political landscape dominated by older men. How did she manage to make her voice heard and get her ideas accepted? We discuss her major successes, such as the increase in the civilian service wage, the introduction of free HPV vaccination and her efforts for a modern, future-oriented education policy.

You will also find out how Claudia Plakolm sees the opportunities of digitalization for young people and why it is important that schools use modern technologies to prepare the next generation for the challenges of the future. We also take a critical look at social media and the role of influencers in the radicalization of young people.

It's a profound, honest and inspiring conversation with a woman who has had a significant impact not only on politics, but also on the lives of young people in Austria.
