Information is important when I go – or am forced to go – to a new country. When such information is given to me in a language I am familiar with and by people who are closer to me in age and origin than most of the others around me, then it will be a lot easier to find my feet and get my bearings. The information reaching the newly arrived youths is reliable. In a playful way and in short episodes, the videos tell about life in Austria, of the rules that matter, of the habits and customs of the country’s inhabitants. No barrier of language or literacy stops understanding or hinders dissemination and the videos can be watched anywhere. What a way to – innovatively – deal with the “other”!
