Neue Mittelschule Hittisau (AT)

This is a joint project by the crafts & trades guilds of Hittisau-Sibratsgfäll and Riefensberg-Krumbach together with the Hittisau Intermediate School. The aim is to encourage qualified youngsters to pursue a career in the crafts & trades and to help students find the occupation that’s right for them.

With assistance from architects, designers, craftsmen and teachers, the students participating in Vorderhand design and build products in the respective crafts & trades workshops. The first step is for youngsters to come up with offbeat ideas by giving free rein to their creativity and inventiveness. Next, these innovative ideas are implemented, whereby the key criteria are for each student to personally perform as many job steps as possible under expert supervision and with the use of professional tools.
