UST Seminar coming up!
The UST Project seminar, taking place in Gothenburg from April 9 to 11, 2024, convenes stakeholders and experts under the theme “Sustainable Tourism Perspectives from Europe.” The three-day event offers a comprehensive exploration of sustainable tourism practices.
Day 1
Day 1 of the seminar is dedicated to engaging stakeholders from the countries of the project partner organisations. Through a series of interactive discussions, workshops, and presentations, participants will explore the fundamental principles of sustainability within the tourism sector. Central to this exploration will be an in-depth examination of the UN SDGs and their significance in guiding sustainable tourism practices.
Day 2
Moving into Day 2, the seminar shifts its focus towards guest speakers and their contributions to the sustainable tourism landscape. Experts from Sweden, like Kristina Lindström and Joakim Forsemalm, will share their insights and experiences. Through case studies and inspirational lectures, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how sustainable tourism initiatives have been successfully implemented.
Day 3
As the seminar progresses into its final day, Day 3 will be dedicated to reflection and action planning. Building upon the knowledge and inspiration garnered from the preceding days, participants will engage in facilitated discussions and group activities aimed at distilling key insights and identifying actionable steps forward.
Exploring Sustainable Tourism Perspectives from Europe took center stage from April 9-11, 2024, in Gothenburg! Hosted by Svedest, this seminar brought together a vibrant mix of experts and stakeholders from all over Europe to dive into the future of sustainable tourism.
We had rich discussions on integrating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into tourism planning. It was fascinating to see how each partner city has been making strides with their assigned SDGs:
Xixona with SDG 1 (No Poverty)
Falköping with SDGs 14-15 (Life Below Water and Life on Land)
Scandiano with SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production)
The event was also packed with inspiring talks, shedding light on crucial concepts that will feature in our upcoming final handbook.
