Learning Platform for Real Life: freifach.at Launched

The need is great: According to the current Ö3 Youth Study 2025, 61 percent of respondents are convinced that school teaches you things that are irrelevant to real life. This is exactly where freifach.at comes in: The new online platform brings practical knowledge to the web – clearly explained, to the point, and presented in a modern way. The founder is AHS teacher Martin Sturc, who implemented the project together with his former students.

"Netflix for Life Skills": freifach.at offers learning videos on practical topics

On freifach.at, short, attractively produced videos in influencer style are available. They explain complex topics so simply that young people can immediately get an overview even without prior knowledge. The platform covers key areas of life: education, career, economy, finance, housing, and mobility.

"Young people want to understand how life really works – whether it's their first job, handling money, or finding their own apartment. In school, there is often too little time for such topics, and many of them are not included in the curriculum. That's why we launched freifach.at: the Netflix for Life Skills," says Sturc.

The project was made possible with the support of the MEGA Bildungsstiftung and the Vienna Business Agency. Particularly valuable: young people themselves were actively involved. Together with them, relevant content was collected, selected, and prepared.
