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

SUMMARY:GAHI Webinar: Bellevue House National Historic Site\, Parks Canada: A Place for Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Global Alliance for Heritage Interpretation is inviting all interpreters around the world to a series of webinars. \nTuesday 5 May 21:00 CEST\nBellevue House National Historic Site\, Parks Canada: A Place for Conversation \nIn this presentation\, Bellevue House Team member with host Tamara van Dyk\, will share experiences interpreting Sir John A. Macdonald through collaboration and dialogue at Bellevue House National Historic Site. \nBellevue House is located in Kingston\, Ontario\, Canada in Cataracoui/Ka’tarohkwi\, on the land of the Wendat\, the Anishinaabe\, and the Haudenosaunee. This Parks Canada site is an Italianate villa built around 1841 for a merchant of settler origin. Macdonald rented Bellevue House for thirteen months between 1848 and 1849\, nearly two decades before becoming prime minister of the new Dominion of Canada in 1867. Since 1967 the site had shared Macdonald’s vision for Canada as a British society. \nIn 2024\, the site reopened\, offering a renewed visitor experience focused on sharing Canadian history. Today\, at Bellevue House\, alongside the life history of Macdonald\, we share the impact of his governments’ policies through the many voices of confederation\, where Indigenous Peoples communicate their experiences of actions taken to serve this vision. Macdonald’s life and complex legacy are interpreted through conversation and from multiple perspectives. \nTamara van Dyk is the Site & Visitor Experience Manager at Bellevue House where she builds teams\, fosters engagement\, and provides experiences that incorporate an inclusive approach to interpretation of this historic site\, located on Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe traditional lands\, in Kingston Ontario. With over 35 years\, she has worked across Canada in interpretation\, outdoor education\, and product development to inspire protection of Canadas diverse natural and cultural heritage. Living the dream and looking forward to this next adventure. \nParticipation is free of charge. You can register here.

SUMMARY:IE Webinar: Evaluation – What are we doing in Europe? 
DESCRIPTION:29 April at 15:00 CEST. \nWe would like to invite you to a discussion on evaluating heritage interpretation provisions\, taking place on the 29th of April at 15:00 CEST. \nEvaluation is an essential part of creating meaningful and effective heritage interpretation experiences. Whether you are assessing individual interpretation services\, temporary programmes\, or entire exhibitions\, understanding what works and what could be improved helps us better fulfill our purpose. \nWe would be very interested to hear about your approaches\, methods\, and findings. Are you evaluating visitor engagement\, learning outcomes\, emotional impact\, or overall visitor satisfaction? Do you rely on visitor surveys\, interviews\, observation\, feedback forms\, or more informal methods? How often do you carry out evaluations\, and how do the results influence your future planning? \nLet’s make use of the expertise within our network and exchange knowledge across countries and professional fields. Learning from one another’s successes\, challenges\, and practical experiences is what makes our community rich and rewarding. \nJoin us next week for an open and inspiring conversation\, and let’s explore together how evaluation can strengthen heritage interpretation across Europe and beyond. 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.***
