Volunteering: This is how it works in Innsbruck!
In Vienna it is no longer a secret that commitment to church and society is valued. On June 17, 2025, numerous personalities were honored for their remarkable commitment.

Every commitment that has a positive impact on living together is appropriately recognized here. The winners are living proof that there are many in Vienna who actively contribute to the common good and show a good knack for working together.
Current news and information about WhatsApp services
These days, the importance of information through platforms like WhatsApp is becoming ever greater. Here is the offer from ORF Tyrol particularly highlighted. The new WhatsApp service informs users free of charge about the latest news from all areas (politics, business, culture and more). When major events occur, there are even breaking news reports so that Viennese people can stay up to date at all times.
To sign up for this service, users simply need to enter their mobile phone number and send the contact a message with the text “ORF Tirol”. This means that not only the news, but also the city's important announcements are always kept in view. Registration can be canceled at any time with the word “STOP”, which will delete the contact number.
Don't ignore data protection
Of course, many people ask themselves how secure their data is when using such services. WhatsApp's new terms of use are causing mixed reactions in Europe. According to the information from Municipal The messages are subject to end-to-end encryption so that third parties do not have access to the content - definitely a reassuring aspect. However, some data, such as username and telephone number, are collected by Facebook, which to some extent puts the use in a different light.
Especially in Germany, it is advised to view WhatsApp critically. The security gaps that exist at the end of the transfer should not be underestimated. It is therefore advisable to regularly delete your own chat history to increase personal security.
In conclusion, it should be noted that both the appreciation of civic engagement and the information offered through modern means of communication are valuable components of a lively and well-connected society. A lot is happening in Vienna – both on the recognition stage and in the digital space!
