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: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:NAI Conference "Navigating Changing Tides"
DESCRIPTION:Selected for the site of the NAI 2024 National Conference\, St Augustine\, Florida has been “Navigating Changing Tides” historically\, culturally\, and environmentally for hundreds of years.

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: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:IE Webinar: West Coast Fossil Park communicates palaeoscience to the public
DESCRIPTION:10 February 2026\, 15:00 CET\nThe West Coast Fossil Park (WCFP) is an important centre for palaeontological research\, education\, and tourism. Located in a rehabilitated former phosphate mine\, the Park supports ongoing fossil research and opened to the public in September 1998. It initially operated as a partnership between Iziko Museum and BHP Billiton\, after which a trust was established and governance transferred to trustees appointed by Iziko Museum. \nFor its first 20 years\, the Park operated from a small visitor centre in the Chemfos Mine building\, approximately 1 km from the main dig site at E Quarry. \nIn 2018\, a new visitor centre funded by the National Lotteries Commission (NLC) opened within E Quarry\, about 250 m from the main excavation site led by Professor Roger Smith. The centre was designed to accommodate up to 500 visitors per day. \nThis online presentation outlines the history of the Park and highlights the operational challenges that must be addressed to ensure long-term sustainability. 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.*** \nPippa Haarhoff was born and educated in Zimbabwe and graduated in archaeology from the University of Cape Town. She joined the South African Museum (now Iziko Museum) in 1977\, working in the Cenozoic Palaeontology department on the Langebaanweg fossil collection under Dr Brett Hendey. She played a key role in initiating the Fossil Park project in 1992 and has managed the Park since its opening in 1998. \nWith a lifelong interest in birds developed during childhood on a farm\, Pippa later specialised in palaeo-ornithology\, inspired by the richness of fossil birds at Langebaanweg. Her research has contributed to discoveries that continue to refine existing theories\, and she emphasizes that fossils are essential to understanding how life on Earth has changed over time.

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.

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
