On Wednesday evening we arrived in Graz. Thursday students visited our partner university FH Joanneum, and in the evening the festival opened at ORF television studios.

Here is the travel and first day report, copied from the Twitter notes of the students:

FH Joanneum

• Great presentation of #FH_Joanneum by Thomas Radeke! Although we did get lost. Again. :D Now, registration (if we find it) for #YouthAward !

• Visited FH Joaneum with #ttvo students, interesting introduction! Next up #youthaward
• @hypertr4in and @windyafternoon are expert guides of #graz. They already know all the best secret places to go & we've only been here a day!

• Opening event of #youthaward with excellent projects and discussions with nice people!
• Great introductions today! Can't wait to hear more from all the winners tomorrow, #youthaward #tamkmedia
• @ovarr did you find @ilumexico?
• The bus went the wrong way and not everyone fit in - 15 min later the doors broke. Good pitches, though. #YouthAward score!
• #tamkmedia #ttvo chaotic arrival at @youthaward but great intro! Looking forward to the pitchings :)
• If you just give people money, there's never going to be enough. It's better to work on grass root level. At #YouthAward, #Graz. #ttvo
