Cultural and natural heritages are the floor from which people look to the future. They are home to great opportunities. One of them is its possibility to help connect people with their places, their history, or to learn about the stories of others; as well as to recognize the value of the natural environment in which we live. When these heritages are disseminated in an enjoyable, fun and meaningful way, people strengthen their ideas about the fact that there are things worth pursuing and preserving.
The interpretation of heritage helps the bond between people and their heritages to grow and become more resistant to the ups and downs of our modernity, suggesting that it is worth stopping to appreciate our environment, our history and our historical moment.
With the tools of heritage interpretation, tourist guides, museographers, disseminators in nature reserves, biological reserves, historical or archaeological sites, archivists and other people who work closely with cultural and natural heritage, obtain tools to provide memorable and meaningful experiences to their visitors, while contributing to the preservation of the richness of our heritage.
InterpatMx, Mexican Association of Heritage Interpreters, invites interpreters, disseminators, mediators and communicators of cultural and natural heritage to its First Face-to-Face Congress on Heritage Interpretation under the theme Interpreting our Heritages for a Better Tomorrow.
This will take place on October 3, 4 and 5, 2024 in the city of Morelia, Michoacán (Mexico) in face-to-face mode.
