The researchers of TiMS&nbsp;presented the project as well as&nbsp;theory and practical examples of&nbsp;multiculturalism and diversity in tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event also incorporated a workshop with the aim of getting to know each other and TiMS, and to gather input at an early stage&nbsp;of&nbsp;the project. Valuable ideas were shared,&nbsp;such as&nbsp;expectations&nbsp;ofthe project, missing elements and&nbsp;participants\u2019&nbsp;possible contributions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the participants expressed a hope that TiMS will strengthen tourism research in Sweden, and create awareness among marketers and decision makers about issues of multiculturalism and tourism. Several of the participants moreover see opportunities to contribute to TiMS with test environments and arenas. Many also have their own local, regional and national projects, networks and contacts that can be connected with TiMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in TiMS and would like to know more, please contact Sayaka Osanami T\u00f6rngren at <a href=\"mailto:sayaka.torngren@mau.se\">sayaka.torngren@mau.se<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TiMS at the International Transdisciplinary Conference Joining Forces for Change This week, Eva Maria Jernsand, Helena Kraff and Emma Bj\u00f6rner from TiMS are participating in the International Transdisciplinary Conference 2019 \u201cJoining Forces for Change\u201d in Gothenburg, presenting TiMS and \u201cInitial involvement of stakeholders in transdisciplinary projects \u2013 exploring issues of expectations, roles and inclusion\u201d.&nbsp;Read more &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogg.mau.se\/tims\/updates\/news-2019\/\" class=\"more-link\">Forts\u00e4tt l\u00e4sa<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> \u201dNews 2019\u201d<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1305,"featured_media":0,"parent":193,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-221","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogg.mau.se\/tims\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogg.mau.se\/tims\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogg.mau.se\/tims\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogg.mau.se\/tims\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1305"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogg.mau.se\/tims\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=221"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/blogg.mau.se\/tims\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/221\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":281,"href":"https:\/\/blogg.mau.se\/tims\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/221\/revisions\/281"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogg.mau.se\/tims\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/193"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogg.mau.se\/tims\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
