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: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: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:IE Webinar: Ephemeral heritage - A decade of summer fieldwork and student projects on heritage sites
DESCRIPTION:The webinar will focus on the work during the past decade (2013-2023) in a small village of Transylvania (Romania). The village of Călugăreni is home to an annual summer fieldwork focused mainly on the site of the former Roman auxiliary fort and its surroundings. As architects they focus on both the interpretation of the archaeological site and the heritage of the old szekler village. With the help and support of the Mureş County Museum they developed a unique way to research and interpret this heritage using mainly small-scale interventions as primary tools. They wanted to show how ephemeral architecture could be an economically and environmentally more sustainable alternative for those sites – even in accordance with the most strict requirements of UNESCO. Gergely will also provide a wider scale representation of how their work could be part of the university curriculum and beyond that part of our daily work in architectural practice.\n\nIf you wish to take part in the webinar\, please register here at least one hour before the webinar begins. ***Register using the same email address associated with your IE membership.*** \n\nGergely Sági was made a Doctor of Architecture in 2023\, and is a full time lecturer at the Department of Explorative Architecture of the Faculty of Architecture of BUTE. He is the founder and leader of AETER\, a practice based in Budapest since 2021\, completing several projects at different scales in Hungary\, Romania and Kazakhstan\, with wide expertise on heritage protection\, small scale interventions and exhibition design. His fields of research are the changes of the cultural landscape and its impacts and meanings as well as the possibilities of creating a more sustainable way of interpreting this landscape and our heritage within. Having supported the development of younger generations since 2012\, university life plays a dominant part in his professional life\, alongside wide international experience: far and beyond European collaborations (e.g. in Spain\, Romania and Germany) he also took part in several programmes focusing on the Middle East (Iraq\, Lebanon\, Syria)\, Northern Africa (Egypt)\, the Americas (Mexico) and Central Asia (Kazakhstan).

SUMMARY:IE Webinar: Inclusivity outside the classroom
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 26 November 2024\, 15:00 CET \nIn our efforts to create more inclusive spaces\, it’s essential to ask: what does true inclusivity look like? This talk will delve into the principles and practices of inclusive environmental education\, with examples of both outstanding achievements and missed opportunities. Together\, we’ll explore the power of multisensory interpretation in making nature and science accessible to all. I will showcase the award-winning Cape Leopard Trust’s innovative approach with ‘Footprints in the Fynbos\,’ a resource tailored for various abilities and translated into multiple South African languages. This project integrates accessible materials like dyslexic-friendly fonts\, Braille\, audio\, and sign language\, enhancing literacy and environmental understanding for differently-abled children. A showcase of how science is communicated by breaking down barriers\, fostering inclusivity and a deeper connection to nature. If you would like to join for this webinar\, register here. \nChris Eksteen is a passionate advocate for people with disabilities. His dedication became apparent when he sought a suitable toy for a family friend’s young boy who had visual impairments. When requesting assistance from a toy store salesperson to locate toys for visually impaired children\, he was met with the response\, “Children who are blind do not play.” This disheartening encounter highlighted the widespread misunderstanding around people with disabilities. Motivated by this incident\, Chris pursued a master’s degree in environmental education. His studies revealed a broader exclusion of visually impaired individuals from environmental education in South Africa. Today Chris has 20 years of experience in the environmental education and conservation science sector\, with a deep understanding of the nonprofit world. He is especially passionate about monitoring and evaluation\, organizational development\, program rescue\, and strategic problem-solving. Currently\, he is the Chief Operations Officer for the Cape Leopard Trust in South Africa. \nPhoto Credits: NPR

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:Interpreting our heritage for a better tomorrow
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe 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. \nWith 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. \nInterpatMx\, 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. \nThis will take place on October 3\, 4 and 5\, 2024 in the city of Morelia\, Michoacán (Mexico) in face-to-face mode.

SUMMARY:FRH Conference 2024 "Religious Heritage in Transition: Challenges and Solutions"
DESCRIPTION:The 2024 FRH Conference\, “Religious Heritage in Transition: Challenges and Solutions” will take place from 22-24 September in Krakow\, Poland. \nReligious heritage must respond to the changes brought about by the emergence of new digital technologies\, the effects of climate change and the way we understand\, relate to and value our historic buildings and intangible heritage in 21st-century Europe. Our conference will explore existing initiatives and possible future solutions so that the various actors involved in religious heritage\, including heritage professionals\, academics\, policy makers at all levels\, religious bodies and European citizens\, do not fall behind in this triple transition (green\, digital and social). \nThe conference will address this overarching topic through four sub-themes: \n\nResilient Heritage: climate change\, armed conflicts\, migration\, secularisation and demographic changes are current challenges that can lead to the deterioration\, abandonment or even loss of religious heritage. This sub-theme will explore current efforts to address these urgent threats.\nSustainable Solutions: this sub-theme will address the long-term sustainability of religious buildings\, looking at trends in adaptive reuse\, protection of heritage crafts linked to built religious heritage and ecological sustainability in a context where more and more religious buildings are being closed\, neglected or underused every year.\nDigital Futures: the digital transition has brought with it a wealth of new possibilities for the study\, management\, protection and promotion of religious heritage\, but it has also raised many questions about the long-term impact of these technologies on the sector\, especially on traditional crafts.\nQuality of Life: religious heritage is often associated with various social\, cultural and spiritual values\, which are closely related to mental health and emotional well-being. This sub-theme will explore how sacred places positively influence people’s health\, especially cultural tourism\, pilgrimage routes and the protection of biodiversity and green spaces.\n\nThe venue will be the Galicia Jewish Museum\, an active institution in the preservation and promotion of Jewish culture in Poland with two permanent exhibitions dedicated to past and contemporary Jewish culture and life in the historic region of Galicia. Find out more about the venue here. \nSEE THE CONFERENCE PROGRAMME \nMEET THE SPEAKERS

SUMMARY:IE Webinar: Could heritage interpretation provide an alternative to quick consumption of bucket-list experiences?
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 2 July 2024\, 09:00 CEST \nThis webinar explores how tourist guides can continue to fulfil their role as heritage interpreters with the role of heritage interpretation evolving and destinations experiencing overtourism.\nTourist guides\, who are part of the economic model of tourism\, need to work with or around given conditions and expectations. They need to use their guiding skills and embrace the interpretive approach in order to tackle challenges. Our session will look briefly at top tips for guiding skills and will discuss interpretation skills for larger groups within a commercial itinerary\, such as expectation management\, fostering a suitable environment for thinking and reflection\, turning visitors from passive consumers into active participants and seeking out interpretive encounters.

She continued this work with the European Federation of Tourist Guides Associations and now the World Federation of Tourist Guide Associations.
