Interpretation is a communication medium that should promote intercultural understanding, respect, and recognition of cultural differences. Learning facts about the differences is not enough and to develop intercultural interpretive /communication skills, we must start from ourselves: we must become aware of core cultural concepts and how we think about culture, how we see the importance of perspective-switching, how we become aware of our own values and other’s values. Understanding between cultures through heritage interpretation can help open communication about important global problems that are common to all.
