Are you ready to contribute to the Learning Landscape initiative symposium in February?
As part of the joint Learning Landscapes initiative, Interpret Europe and UNESCO are organising an online symposium, which will take place on 26-27 February 2026. It will address the role of narratives in 21st century heritage interpretation, and we are calling for your contributions.
Heritage interpretation is changing. Once focused on entertaining storytelling, it is now more about sharing experiences, inviting dialogue and empowering people to interpret for themselves.
But how do we navigate the diverse – and sometimes conflicting – narratives around heritage?
Narratives are interpretive frames shared by many. They place heritage phenomena in a meaningful context and influence what we remember, and how we form our beliefs. Strong narratives can connect, heal, and inspire but they can also divide, silence, or distort. Engaging with multiple narratives requires new skills and opens new questions, which we aim to address in our symposium.
You can find the questions we want to address on the IE website here:

We welcome not only academic papers but also invite you to share your own experiences, present our own ideas, or simply stimulate and facilitate exchange on a particular question.
Please select the format that best suits you from our submission form, which we need to receive by 9 January 2026.
We are much looking forward to your proposals!
