SUMMARY:Speak at NEMO’s European Museum Conference “Can we talk? Museums facing polarisation”
DESCRIPTION:NEMO’s European Museum Conference “Can we talk? Museums facing polarisation”\, taking place from 10-12 November 2024 in Sibiu\, Romania\, seeks to address the vital role museums (can) play in today’s challenged democracies. Be part of shaping the conference by submitting a proposal for the programme until 19 June. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur societies are facing massive and disruptive challenges\, and societal divisions seem to deepen by the day. Cultural institutions such as museums\, therefore\, are increasingly under pressure. At the NEMO European Museum Conference we will together explore the power museums have to face polarisation: Which possibilities do museums have to navigate controversies and foster dialogue and debate? How can museums better respond when caught in the crosshairs of socio-political debate? Additionally\, the conference will discuss how to build strong relationships with underrepresented groups and foster their representation in polarising times. Finally\, we will bring to light the growing political pressure that museums worldwide are grappling with; inviting and analysing possible (re)actions as models for prevention. \nLet’s get inspired by examples from European museums and successful strategies from other sectors and reflect on our museums’ operations and the options we have – including effective community engagement\, governance models\, and conflict management strategies.

SUMMARY:Eighteenth International Conference on the Inclusive Museum
DESCRIPTION:Conference Themes and Special Focus\nFounded in 2008\, The Inclusive Museum Research Network is brought together by a shared concern for the future role of the museum and how it can become more inclusive. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary\, geographic\, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network\, we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions. \nThe Eighteenth International Conference on the Inclusive Museum calls for research addressing the following annual themes and special focus: \n\nTheme 1: Visitors\nTheme 2: Collections\nTheme 3: Representations\n\nGalleries\, Libraries\, Archives\, and Museums are the four critical domains of heritage collections that collaborate and coordinate their shared agendas and work together with UNESCO. There are emerging common concerns among them. All are rethinking community cultural engagement\, positioning themselves as civic spaces for the culture\, health\, and well-being of stakeholder communities. Relevance and inclusion are critical benchmarks along with climate crisis responsiveness and sustainability—economic\, social\, cultural\, and environmental. In this context\, we look forward to interdisciplinary interrogation\, evidence-based case studies\, and demonstration projects in Zaragoza.

SUMMARY:NAI National Conference in Virginia Beach
DESCRIPTION:Fort Collins\, CO — The National Association for Interpretation (NAI) opened registration for the annual NAI National Conference\, the largest annual gathering of heritage interpreters in the world. The event brings more than 600 professionals to a different corner of the United States annually. This year\, the conference will be held in Virginia Beach\, Virginia\, November 11–15. The conference slogan\, “Virginia Beach is for Interpreters\,” plays off the state’s iconic call to tourists\, “Virginia is for Lovers\,” adopted in 1969.\n\nPark rangers\, environmental educators\, living history interpreters\, tour guides\, docents\, and other nonformal educators will convene in an area replete with nature\, culture\, and history—and names! It’s known as Neptune City\, Hampton Roads\, Coastal Virginia\, and Tidewater. Within just a few miles\, nature lovers will find a zoo\, an aquarium\, a botanical garden\, a natural history museum\, and a state park. For interpreters of culture and history\, the area plays host to thousands of years of Indigenous history\, Black history\, military history\, and the colonial establishment of the United States.\n\nThe program has been carefully crafted to have broad application for front-line interpreters\, managers\, planners\, and others in the field. More than 70 concurrent sessions will address hot topics in the field and practical skills for interpreters. Opening keynote speakers Yuria Celidwen and Dacher Keltner will present “The ABC of Nature: Awe\, Belonging\, and Contemplation\,” and a closing keynote by André Copeland will address perceptions of truth and facts.\n\nPre-conference workshops will explore topics relevant to the field\, such as partnerships\, questioning our perspective\, dialogic interpretation\, and more\, while post-conference field trips will explore the natural\, historic\, and cultural heritage of the region. Participants will have the opportunity to network with peers and learn from cutting-edge vendors and exhibitors throughout the week.\n\nFor more information\, visit NAI 2025 online at nai-us.org/conference.

SUMMARY:GAHI Webinar: Presenting Empaths\, where communities and heritage professionals come together
DESCRIPTION:Global Alliance for Heritage Interpretation is inviting all interpreters around the world to a series of webinars. \nPolicies say heritage must encourage community participation in heritage interpretation (HI) yet despite the best intentions\, many heritage professionals still struggle with the skills and techniques to effectively deliver participatory HI. \nIn parallel with its established training programme\, IE has subsequently teamed up with Greek\, Italian and Austrian partners in a two-year Erasmus+-funded project to develop and test a pilot online and onsite training programme to upskill heritage professionals with these necessary competencies where people participate and interpreters facilitate. \nJoin the project team for a lively panel discussion to learn more about Empaths\, to chart progress to date and share key findings and lessons learned as they gear up to the test the training programme in three very different pilot territories during 2026. \nThe Empaths partnership includes Interpret Europe which is paired with UNESCO Global Geopark Karawanken-Karavanke straddling the Austria-Slovenia border\, Greek professional training provider\, HERITΛGE with its partner the Ethnological Museum of Thrace and The Story Behind\, an Italian consultancy specialising ethical branding\, storytelling and HI which is teamed with the Archaeological Park of Campi Flegrei near Naples. \nMore info: https://empaths-project.eu \nParticipation is free of charge.

SUMMARY:IE Conference: Re-interpreting heritage in the light of Faro
DESCRIPTION:16-19 April 2026 in Faro\, Portugal \nWe will gather in Faro to discuss how interpretation can enhance the value of heritage – both natural and cultural – for people and societies in European democracies.\nIt was here where the Council of Europe launched the “Faro Convention” in 2005\, embarking on a journey towards more democratic\, people-centred\, and value-based practices in dealing with Europe’s heritage.\nThe official legal text refers to cultural heritage only\, its underlying rationale matters for all heritage interpretation\, including natural heritage\, as Europe is facing multiple challenges.\nJoin us to discuss how the Faro spirit can inspire theory and practice of interpretation. And\, vice versa\, how new approaches to co-creative interpretation can empower Faro heritage communities while strengthening cohesion of democratic societies committed to European values and sustainable development as ideals which are rooted in Europe’s past. Find out more about the theme and call for papers here.  \nThe city of Faro and its surroundings\, in Portugal’s Algarve\, are alluringly rich in natural and cultural heritage. \nFaro is situated in the extreme south-west of Europe and the whole region has been shaped throughout history by the succession and coexistence of diverse cultures and religions arriving by land and sea. It can look back on a turbulent past and it displays traces of these events everywhere. Many names in present-day Portugal and Spain testify to the influence of Romans\, Byzantines\, Visigoths and finally Moors. For centuries\, explorers set sail from the Iberian Peninsula exporting\, in turn\, influences from this region.\n \nWhat the Muslims once called Al Gharb\, which simply meant the West\, is what we now know as the Algarve and\, with plenty of sunshine and beaches\, it is one of Europe’s most popular tourist destinations. But the Algarve is much more than that. Between the Atlantic Ocean and the mountains in the hinterland\, we can discover a diverse landscape rich in natural and cultural treasures. \nThis geologically diverse landscape is the home of carob\, fig\, almond and eucalyptus trees\, not to mention the ancient olive trees and mighty cork oaks. The people of the Algarve have always known how to use the assets of the region and old traditions live on in many places\, many adapted to the times. \nRegister here: Interpret Europe conference 2026 – Registration
