!!!Bundesjugendring, Österreichischer

Bundesjugendring, Oesterreichischer (Austrian Federal Youth Council), 
set up in 1953. Umbrella organisation of 22 democratic associations 
for children and juveniles (as of 1994), represents the interests of 
children and juveniles as well as of their organisations, platform for 
juveniles of different ideological, religious and social convictions 
fostering the development of common viewpoints. In the early 1990s 
stress was laid on the fight against xenophobia ("Lichtermeer" - mass 
demonstration) and rightist-extremism, on ensuring that young people 
can travel at reasonable cost ("Interrail"), as well as on the 
participation of children and juveniles in political life.
