Science is cool | Knowledgeable Youth #3

Gagarin, the Eurozine podcast

In the third episode of Knowledgeable Youth, the Ukrainian students of the Free People Educational Hub in Vienna discuss tertiary education. Due to differences in school systems between Ukraine and Austria, Ukrainian adolescents often enter university earlier than Austrian students. Their conversation focuses on the article "Bleaching Blue Collars“ by Polish scientist and researcher Agata Zysiak, drawing insights from the experiences of first-generation students under state socialism in Poland and the barriers they faced when trying to enter university. The students share their own thoughts about entering university and the difficulties and challenges they might encounter in Vienna. Knowledgable Youth: Science Communication in Times of War is co-organised by Eurozine, RECET, Radio Orange and the Free People Educational Hub in Vienna. The project is funded by the Cultural Department of the City of Vienna. Read more about the project here: www.eurozine.com/focal-points/youth-project/.
