The planning for our next conference is well underway and now it is over to you … Time to spend your autumn evenings planning your contribution.
Call for papers
If you were with us at the conference in Koper, Slovenia, you will certainly remember the warm invitation from our Polish friends to meet again next year in Sulejowek. Now we are working hard to deliver another exciting and inspiring event. Most importantly for the moment: The call for papers is open! The theme will be Heroes, anti-heroes and villains: How we (re)create, use and dismantle them. Take your time to think about what you would most like to share with your international colleagues. Look at it from all sides, create new ideas, discard them, reformulate them… and use the upcoming holiday period to put everything together. Don’t miss the deadline to send us your abstract: 5 January 2025.
Find out more about the requirements here: https://www.interpreteuropeconference.net/call-for-papers-2/ We are looking forward to a new colourful bouquet of heritage interpretation ideas, experience and visions.
Study visits
Deciding which study visits to take you on was not easy, as Warsaw and its surroundings offer a wide range of possibilities. Of course, you can’t visit the city without learning about the history of the Jews, the Warsaw Uprising and the impressive reconstruction after the Second World War. But what do apples and giraffes have to do with the conference topic? What stories does the Vistula River tell? And what awaits us in the Kampinoski National Park? Immerse yourself in the fascinating life of the city’s most famous daughter, Maria Skłodowska-Curie, or imagine the life of people in Communist times. We are sure that there is something interesting and inspiring for everyone, which can be discussed further over some tasty Polish food.
From our conference organiser
April is only a few months away and we’ll have a great chance to get to know each other and to exchange our unique experiences and ideas, during the #iecon25 conference in Sulejówek near Warsaw, Poland. We can’t wait to welcome you to the Józef Piłsudski Museum in Sulejówek (https://muzeumpilsudski.pl/en/home/) from 11-14 April 2025. Together we will interpret natural and cultural heritage in circumstances that for sure you’ll find inspiring. During the conference, besides the core programme of keynote speeches, presentations and workshops, we’ll have several other activities for you: cultural visits in Warsaw and nearby areas, pre- and post-conference tours and other opportunities to spend valuable time together. In the Piłsudski Museum itself you’ll be offered a range of interpretive guided tours and walks, as well as more traditional ways of ‘touching’ the history of Poland and Central Eastern Europe. You’ll be our special guests!
