Preparation guidance for partners

2013-01-29T01:28:30Z

Dear Partners,

Now it's time to show your (interim) achievements, to get familiar with DestiNet as our knowledge networking tool, and to think on the future. At our workshop we will present our results and experiences so far, exchange and plan the future until August and beyond.

With the PREPARATION CHECKLIST (see below) we give you guidance to see where you are and to prepare your information in a structured way. You should calculate 5-10 days of work, depending on what you already have prepared. To benefit best from each other it is essential that all partners finish their preparation until 15th may.

The cheklist has 3 parts:

1. Your Presentation Content List (to be used at the meeting with prepared hyperlinks to your information)

2. Prepare Your Information (to start with!)

3. Status (for your own control)

We have prepared for your work a copy of this preparation Checklist in your folder in the PARTNERS SECTION.

Please contact gisela.martinez@ecotrans.de whenever you have a question or idea!

Thank you,

Herbert Hamele, Gordon Sillence, Gisela Martinez

Guidance paper for experts (update 08 may 2012-hh)

2014-11-27T15:44:09Z

What will happen at the workshop 24-25 May in Paris?

The European workshop will bring us all together, give us the full update picture and achievements so far, will allows us to learn from each other and to do knowledge exchange in practice (partners ask experts). We will discuss and select potential follow up projects based on our individual interests and opportunities.

What is the experts’ contribution?

1. until 15th May:

if not yet done: fill out and send the OBSERVATORY questionaire to gordon.destinet@ecotrans.de
go to your TOPIC FOLDER . There you see a long list of pointers to information on DestiNet where the tile of your TOPIC has been choosen as relevant. The introduction text "our support" now shall be completed with some good key information examples: ca 3 key organisations (for "who is who"), 3 key "resources", 1-3 "good practices" and 1-3 "market place" examples. How to do this? For "resources" you can directly go to the "FAST-LAIN Library" folder which includes your input of key documents from September. For "Who is who", "good practices" and "market place" go to the Atlas and use there the TOPICS filter. And then? Send the 8+ hyperlinks to gisela.martinez@ecotrans.de . She will add them to your "our support" in your topic folder. See as model the "Our Support" section in "Quality assessment, certification, marketing"

2. At the workshop:

give a short presentation of your topic online: induction, your role, our support + examples.
answer topic related questions from the partners.As a potential tool for knowledge networking we have created a FAST-LAIN ‘ask expert forum” . Have a look! There the FAST-LAIN partners may post some “burning” questions before the workshop. You as topic experts then can see and answer them already online before the meeting, and then directly at the workshop (special session)
propose potential follow-up projects and sources of funding/finance. We will have a “future workshop” on the 2^nd day, facilitated by Peter Zimmer: there you should make one or more suggestions for potential follow up projects. We will discuss them, set priorities and agree on the next steps. According to your interest and opportunities you then will be asked to participate in the next steps.

Note

DestiNet is a quality assessed sustainable tourism information portal. Experts as folder administrator make sure that the information is related to sustainable tourism (e.g. a special topic) and that the information is saved in the correct folder.

At the workshop we will present the administration system with tasks, rigthts and benefits. After the workshop we will do individual online inductions on skype/phone.

Topic administrators benefits:

their expert profile is published on the DestiNet Market Place (potential promotion of own services)
they receive email notifications of all changes in their folder (always up-to-date)
they approve (or not) new information in their basket of approval (training own skills)
they can use survey and mailing tools, make proposals and participate in DestiNet related projects (business advantages).
