Working in the public sector - a municipal or state institution - is not the first thing on the list of an ambitious young person. Every day we are inundated with examples of how these institutions work clumsily, how they are a screen for draining budget funds, how they are hardly staffed only by liaison officers who have failed in life and whom no one in the private sector would hire. Fortunately, this is not the full picture. There are also good examples, which, however, rarely become media interesting. These good examples show that a machine can work as long as there are prepared and moral people in it. This means that a good way to change the system is to get into it. It will be a presentation about the experience from within, about the borders, but also the possibilities of working in the public interest.
