We have now completed the step of determining the status quo of the sustainability of our participants and are pleased to share the results of this in a report! In this report you will find the qualitative attitudes of our participants to the three sub-areas of sustainability: environmental sustainability, social sustainability and ecological sustainability. Based on this, our participants are currently participating in sustainability coaching and training to update their sustainability knowledge based on their knowledge gaps according to their status quo. This is the general part of the Status Quo. The individual part of the Status Quo was made available to the participants individually. We are pleased to provide you with the report in the following languages: English:&nbsp;<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1l6lNIdUhQ00i-OW3nJWtd2kEiYAbroNq/view?usp=sharing">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1l6lNIdUhQ00i-OW3nJWtd2kEiYAbroNq/view?usp=sharing</a>​ German:&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mIF_0NxhW-kXW2ncQlgnaKk74SyeSUo6/view?usp=drive_link">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mIF_0NxhW-kXW2ncQlgnaKk74SyeSUo6/view?usp=drive_link</a>​ Italian:&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ncocd3Hi0IrWUDh7MMazQrCtVrBXwWRZ/view?usp=drive_link">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ncocd3Hi0IrWUDh7MMazQrCtVrBXwWRZ/view?usp=drive_link</a>​The other languages will follow shortly!

OLAT Webinar OLAT Two-factor Authentication & next steps for german-speaking participants

OLAT Webinar OLAT Two-factor Authentication & next steps for german-speaking participants

​OLAT is the online collaboration and learning platform which is used to connect the participating SMTEs in the project. As we informed, the University of Innsbruck (who hosts OLAT) introduced the 2-Factor-Authentication. Therefore, in the first place the Project Consortium did not want to use OLAT. But now it was finally decided to use OLAT since it adds a lot of value for the project members.​Which added value brings OLAT?<ul><li>​OLAT serves as communication and exchange platform between participants and will be especially used to coordinate the SIPs.</li><li>OLAT offers tried and tested methods for learning and communicating.</li><li>In OLAT documents and other files can be shared from the ETSM2030 to the participants and between participants.</li><li>The ETSM2030 OLAT course can be adapted easily to the needs of the ETSM2030 participants &amp; much more...</li></ul> What is a two-factor authentication?​The 2 Factor Authentication is a security process in which users provide two different authentication factors to verify yourself when logging in. The Two-factor authentication adds an additional layer of security to the authentication process by making it harder for attackers to gain access to a person's devices or online accounts because, even if the your password is hacked, a password alone is not enough to pass the authentication check. The second factor in OLAT will be your mobile phone with an authentication app, showing a code you will type in while logging in.​ ​We created a brochure show the step-by-step installation of the 2-Factor-Authentication in OLAT. We are happy to provide you with this step-by-step manual also in the following. You can find more information on <a href="https://www.uibk.ac.at/zid/account/zwei-faktor-authentifizierung-anleitung.html.en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.uibk.ac.at/zid/account/zwei-faktor-authentifizierung-anleitung.html.en</a> or on the ETSM2030 News Page (<a href="http://www.etsm2030.eu/news" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.etsm2030.eu/news</a>)!You can find the flyer under the following link:English:&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vO8_fS2DPSp5Y70IuD-Pg-WLF9Fx3i7W/view?usp=drive_link">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vO8_fS2DPSp5Y70IuD-Pg-WLF9Fx3i7W/view?usp=drive_link</a>​German:&nbsp;<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1v3O0T0yRv7r5Q3oCLPijrj8cJQuPXwou/view?usp=drive_link"></a><a target="_blank" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1v3O0T0yRv7r5Q3oCLPijrj8cJQuPXwou/view?usp=drive_link">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1v3O0T0yRv7r5Q3oCLPijrj8cJQuPXwou/view?usp=drive_link</a>​Please let us know via etsm2030@uibk.ac.at if you need it in another language - we are happy to translate it for you!Stay tuned for the OLAT 2-Factor Webinars!

Dear participants, unfortunately this first Best Practice Speech will take place in German language and therefore is only for German-speaking participants. In the future, there will be also organized Webinars in English and other languages - please stay tuned :)&nbsp; Liebe Teilnehmer, wir freuen uns sehr, euch zu unserem ersten Best-Practice Vortrag von Nachhaltigkeits-Vorreiter und Change-Maker René Föger vom Hotel Stern - dem ersten klimaneutralen Hotel Tirols einladen zu dürfen! Wie wir bereits in unserem letzten Newsletter no. 2 angekündigt haben, dürfen&nbsp;wir zur Inspiration und zum Austausch herausragende&nbsp;Best-Practice Beispiele der Nachhaltigkeit im Tourismus einladen. Wir&nbsp;freuen uns sehr und sind geehrt, dass es es uns gelungen ist,&nbsp;den&nbsp;Tiroler&nbsp;Nachhaltigkeits-Vorreiter&nbsp;René Föger vom Hotel Stern&nbsp;(<a href="https://hotelstern.at/" target="_blank">https://hotelstern.at/</a>) für unsere Vortrags-Reihe zu gewinnen!&nbsp;René berichtet uns über seine Erfolgs-Geschichte als erstes klimaneutrales Hotel Tirols und gibt uns spannende Einblicke in seinen Weg zur Nachhaltigkeit. Von der Mentalität des "Butz und Stingl" ("Kerngehäuse und Stängel"), womit die Abfallvermeidung in den&nbsp;Mittelpunkt&nbsp;gestellt wird, über das Klimaspiel für Gäste bis hin zur Stern-Familie, den Mitarbeitenden&nbsp;mit dem Motto "I schaug auf Di. Du schaugsch auf mi!" ist das Hotel Stern als erstes klimaneutrales Hotel Tirols nicht nur absoluter Vorreiter auf diesem Gebiet sondern kann auch vieles über seinen Weg hin zur Nachhaltigkeit berichten. Der Vortrag bietet nicht nur Gelegenheit, sich auszutauschen sondern zeigt auch, wie der Weg zur Nachhaltigkeit gelingen kann. Zur Person: René Föger - Vorreiter in Sachen Nachhaltigkeit in Tirol René Föger studiert nach der Tourismusschule internationale Wirtschaft und arbeitet für Swarovski. Mit 27 Jahren übernimmt er das Hotel Stern am Mieminger Plateau. Seine Eltern übergeben ihm das Hotel und jegliche Freiheit dieses zu gestalten, wobei&nbsp;René keinen Stein auf dem anderen lässt: Er macht aus einem Sanierungsfall das erste klimaneutrale Hotel Tirols und damit ist der&nbsp;erste Schritt zur Erfolgsgeschichte des klimaneutralen Hotel Sterns gelegt! Das Hotel Stern - das erste klimaneutrale Hotel Tirols Im Hotel Stern wird Nachhaltigkeit gelebt. Nicht erst seit es "in" ist, sondern schon seit Generationen. René Föger riss in der 20. Generation der Wirtsfamilie mit seiner Übernahme 2004 das Ruder komplett herum und stellte das Thema Nachhaltigkeit in den Mittelpunkt - der Grundstein für eine Erfolgsgeschichte. Mehr Informationen findet über den Nachhaltigkeits-Vorreiter René Föger und das erste klimaneutrale Hotel Stern&nbsp;findet ihr unter&nbsp;<a href="https://hotelstern.at/" target="_blank">https://hotelstern.at/</a>. Wir würden uns freuen, wenn ihr diese einmalige Chance auf spannende Einblicke im nachhaltigen Tourismus wahrnehmt und sind gespannt auf Renés spannenden Weg zur Nachhaltigkeit!
