Part of the Navigator programme is to support a social project as a group. 

For our group, it was not clear from the outset what we wanted to do and achieve as a team. However, with the help of Time Bank, we quickly found a great project that was also possible for the large number of participants. 

Jugend am Werk is a non-profit organisation that we wanted to support with its important topic of giving young people a chance. And sometimes it's as simple as colouring in. Participants travelled from different parts of Austria to achieve something together as a team. 

The aim was to re-colour the dining/living room of a shared flat. At the start, the shared flat was masked off by our team. With a lot of fun and dedication, we gave the living room a new splendour with a sunny yellow wall and beautiful white walls. After finally cleaning the floor of the odd splash of paint, we were invited for a little refreshment. After we had carried all the furniture into the living room, we were also able to test the couch. 

This morning once again taught us all how to colour, but above all showed us how easy it can be to help.
