Together active at the MACHWAS Days 2026

Projects for the aha-MACHWAS Days can be submitted until March 20. The aha-MACHWAS Days are entering their next round: From June 29 to July 8, 2026, they invite participants to use the last school days for a joint project.

Students aged 12 to 19 will gain insights into various organizations, clubs, or communities and can help on-site. Last year, around 1,200 young people participated in 35 projects, contributing their ideas, muscle power, and enthusiasm through various activities.

They assisted at a clothing swap party with upcycling in a church in Feldkirch, recorded their ideas for the library as a "third place" in podcasts, cooked with food scraps, engaged with democracy, repaired a bicycle themselves, and much more. In addition to unique experiences, students can also earn aha plus points.

Submit projects now. Projects can be submitted from now until March 20, 2026, at the latest. "The MACHWAS Days are a great opportunity for young people to learn and try new things. For organizations, it’s a chance to attract new volunteers through direct interaction," explains Andrea Gollob, project manager of the aha-MACHWAS Days. All information, as well as the link for project submission, can be found at www.aha.or.at/machwas-tage-organisation.
