The Power of Skateboard! Skating is more than just a sport: It helps children and young people to achieve something, to find their own way of living, get appreciation for their talent and experience a feeling of belonging.

Skating helps to bring young people together, without any kind of prejudices. It makes adolescents stronger – and the future needs this kind of strength.

The work of Caritas Austria is based on strong values, like justice, solidarity, empathy, and the strong belief that every life is precious. Its most important goal is to see the needs of people and to support them, especially when they themselves are not able to do that.

Caritas Austria is working in more than 1.600 places all over Austria, providing different kinds of support, like helping in care, in hospices, for elder or handicapped people. The work of Caritas Austria is mostly regional and local, but it also collaborates with its international network in different countries when help is needed in other places.
