Buchpräsentation: Innsbruck liest ums Eck 2023

"Imagine being nervous all your life, noticing everything, being on guard all the time. I was born nervous. I was illegal. Every year, every day, every minute it could happen" from the Innsbruck Reads book Friday is a Good Day to Flee (Zsolnay, 2022).

After a reading by Elyas Jamalzadeh and Andreas Hepp from Freitag ist ein guter Tag zum Flüchten (Friday is a Good Day to Flee), associations and feelings about the book will be used to build a bridge to the mental health of young people: "How are you?" is the central question. Barbara Juen, clinical and health psychologist (University of Innsbruck and Red Cross), will talk about self-care, psychosocial health and dealing with trauma. Finally, the expert on digital civil courage, youngCaritas director Kirsi Madersbacher, will explain how to deal with hate comments and bullying on the internet and present strategies for action. Moderation: Christopher Bindra, InfoEck
