Federalism
Federalism is a governance system of self-rule and shared rule. It is a state order, which divides and shares power and authority among the national and the regional units. In a federation, the national government (e.g. Austria/Bund) and the member states (e.g. the Austrian Bundesländer) fulfill certain tasks independently from each other and certain tasks together. In federalism, the member states keep a degree of statehood, but are united in an overarching entity, the federation.
Why Federalism?
Because there must be offerings in elementary education that are tailored to local needs.
Sophia Steinlechner, Kindergarten teacher
Because a federal state forms a brand on the outside and an identity on the inside. Society and the economy need both: external glamour and internal meaning.
Wolfgang Sparer, Leiter des Bildungsconsultings
Because Vienna and Brussels are too far away to see all the details for some decisions.
Werner Preindl, Payroll accountant
Because local people are best able to assess their needs and then make the right decisions for them.
Andreas Cia, Social educator
Because in the COVID-19-crisis, it is particularly important to be able to implement prevention measures that are precisely tailored to the respective region
