Musiksommer: Rudi Anschober

"Encouragement"

Reading

The world is tipping to the right. Achievements are going down the drain within a few weeks and months. Climate protection, human rights, international cooperation are falling by the wayside. What are the causes of this radical development? How can we understand, learn, do better to turn this political trend around? The answers to important questions like these are an encouragement. That’s why Rudi Anschober dedicates his new program to them.

Encouragement

The world is tipping right! Achievements are going down the drain within a few weeks and months. Climate protection, human rights, international cooperation are falling by the wayside. The peak is Donald Trump's activity as President of the USA. What exactly is changing in the USA?

What are the causes of this radical development? How can we understand, learn, do better to turn this political development around? What role do positive communication, hope, and good future perspectives play in this? What is developing positively despite the overall negative trend? Which success projects are not shown by the media but can give us a lot of strength if we get to know them? What can we learn from history?

The answers to these important questions are an "ENCOURAGEMENT!" And that is also the title of Rudi Anschober's new program, which had its successful premiere on May 20, 2025, at the Kulisse in Vienna and which Anschober is now taking on tour across Austria in September and October and from February 26 to June 26: to give courage, provide hope, and set an impulse for a new narrative of departure. Together, with broad alliances and clear goals, we can achieve a lot. Do not resign, we are many! The goal is not to withdraw, but to remain active and become. Right now!

Rudi Anschober

Rudi Anschober was born on November 21, 1960, in Wels, Upper Austria, and grew up in Schwanenstadt. He graduated in Vöcklabruck, completed teacher training in Salzburg, and attended the journalism academy in Linz. Anschober worked as a teacher until he entered the National Council as a spokesperson for the Green Alternative OÖ in November 1990 and became the spokesperson for security, transport, anti-nuclear issues, and internal affairs in the second green parliamentary faction. In 1997, Anschober, as the lead candidate, secured the Greens' entry into the Upper Austrian State Parliament, and in 2003 into the Upper Austrian state government. For the first time, a black-green government coalition was formed in Upper Austria.

Anschober was responsible for environmental protection, climate protection, water, consumer protection, and, since 2015, integration issues in the Upper Austrian state government until January 2020. After his swearing-in on January 7, 2020, Anschober became Minister for Health, Social Affairs, Care, and Consumer Protection in the first turquoise-green federal government. In April 2021, Anschober left politics for health reasons. Today he works as an author, speaker, and consultant and lives in Vienna.
