SUMMARY:IE Webinar: Case studies from museum and cultural heritage projects in the Czech Republic
DESCRIPTION:12 May at 15:00 CEST. \nThis webinar presents an in-depth reflection based on case studies from museum and heritage projects. It focuses on dramaturgical thinking\, spatial storytelling\, and the translation of complex source material into forms that are readable and meaningful for visitors. The session will concentrate on the design process: how meaning is structured\, where key decisions are made\, and how content\, space\, and visitor movement are composed into a coherent narrative experience. \nDrawing on three concrete projects – the exhibition for the Museum of Františkovy Lázně\, the interpretive concept for Arnold’s Villa in Brno\, and a narrative space developed through the spatial translation of a sociological survey – the session illustrates different starting points and working methods. The case studies demonstrate specific tools used to transform historical archives\, architectural heritage\, and abstract research data into spatial dramaturgy and scenographic language. \nBarbora Klapalová is an architect\, scenographer\, and exhibition designer based in the Czech Republic. She is the founder and art director of Play to Lift\, a studio focused on storytelling through space and narrative exhibition design. Her work combines architectural thinking\, dramaturgy\, and visitor-centred interpretation\, with a strong emphasis on process\, structure\, and the emotional readability of space. Her projects include exhibitions and interpretive concepts for the National Museum and the Museum of the City of Prague\, among others. Barbora also teaches exhibition design and museum studies at Charles University in Prague. If you wish to take part in the webinar\, please register here at least one hour before the webinar begins. ***Please register using the same email address associated with your IE membership.***

SUMMARY:IE Webinar: Walking tours and interpretation with Europeana
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 9 June at 15:00 CEST. \nIn 2025\, Europeana published five new walking tours in Amsterdam\, Dublin\, Gdansk\, London and Pisa. Each tour was illustrated and interpreted with digital collections from museums\, galleries\, libraries and archives around Europe. In this practical webinar\, you will hear from Europeana about tour best practices and ideas on how to use digitised collections in your interpretation projects. \nAdrian Murphy has worked at Europeana since 2016\, engaging audiences with the digitised cultural heritage collections. He works on editorial strategy\, digital storytelling\, participatory campaigns and developing audience communities\, as well as curating features such as stories\, exhibitions and walking tours. Prior to Europeana\, he worked at the Horniman Museum and Gardens in London\, where he managed digital activities. He is a Trustee of the Stained Glass Museum\, as well as a member of ICOM and a regular contributor to Wikimedia Commons. If you wish to take part in the webinar\, please register here at least one hour before the webinar begins. ***Please register using the same email address associated with your IE membership.***

SUMMARY:IE Networking Event
DESCRIPTION:Are you looking ahead to 2026 and exploring new funding opportunities? Do you have a heritage project idea that you would like to develop but are looking for the right partners to bring it to life? Or perhaps you have expertise or services that you would like to offer to other consortia? \nThen our IE networking event is the place to be. Join us on 24 September from 15:00 to 16:30 CEST. \nIE members will get together and have some time in breakout rooms to get to know each other. Those who have project ideas that are looking for partners\, please share a few details about your projects to entice members who may be interested in partnering with you. Maybe you’ll even find colleagues with whom you could stay in touch for future projects. \nPlease register for the event by 21 September and share your expectations and needs through the survey in this link. You could also submit the form later\, but then you will not be able to present your project\, you would just be a participant. \nThe data from the questionnaire will be shared with all participants after the event for your future networking purposes. \nPlease note: there will not be a recording of this event.

SUMMARY:IE Webinar: What Makes a Strong Interpretive Theme? How AI Revealed a Much Deeper Question about Standards
DESCRIPTION:This presentation traces a study that began with a simple question: can we train AI to write better interpretive themes? Instead\, a deeper question quickly emerged\, what actually makes a strong theme\, regardless of who writes it? With help from 15 international interpretation experts\, the study examined theme quality directly. The results illuminated not only theme quality\, but the broader question of whether we can create interpretation standards at all. The presentation begins with an audience quiz using the same themes and format presented to the expert panel. Afterward\, Jon compares the audience’s results with those of the experts themselves. \nIn the 1990s while working as an interpreter at the Costa Rican national zoo\, Jon Kohl began to leverage his background in writing with an emerging interest in interpretive themes. Through mentorship with Sam Ham\, Jon eventually published the first edition of the Interpretive Theme Writer´s Field Guide: How to Write a Strong Theme from Big Idea to Presentation (NAI 2018). In 2026 NAI and Bloomsbury published the second edition with standards for interpretive theme writing designed to be upload to an AI chatbot. Consequently Jon\, a Journal of Interpretation Research associate editor\, joined Dr. Marc Stern\, co-editor of the same journal\, to test if trained AI could write stronger themes. They instead explored larger questions about theme quality and interpretation in general.  If you wish to take part in the session\, please register here at least one hour before the webinar begins.  ***Please register using the same email address associated with your IE membership.*** \n
