Global Excellence in Interpretation

Free Webinar Series

While interpreters have shifted to digital communication through online webinars and meetings, interpreters' professional associations around the world have increased their activity, developing and providing online services to members, including training, conferences, one-off events, and more. This accelerated trend has given us an opportunity to share good practice more widely across the world, with interpreters from different countries and indeed different continents joining events of interest to them. This series will develop a pilot international webinar series, under the banner of the Global Alliance for Heritage Interpretation.

This yearlong series of webinars hosted by seven interpretation organizations around the world is free to all interpreters, regardless of membership or affiliation with any of the sponsor organizations! English-Spanish live translation will be available.

Diversity and Inclusion in Interpretation

How can interpretive sites better serve underserved communities? How can we create inclusive employment opportunities? Diversifying our visitor base, creating inclusive marketing campaigns, and adjusting our programming and hiring practices to be more accessible are all key points in defining excellence in interpretation.

Can heritage interpretation prevent war?

It is the dreadful fate of humanistic education: As soon as violence starts, it is too late. What could heritage interpretation do to defuse potential conflicts, from small to large scale? What are the key concepts to consider? And what does this mean for interpretive training? In search of answers, former IE Managing Director Thorsten Ludwig will trace the evolution of Interpret Europe over the past five years.

Whose Story is it Anyway: Interpreting the Cultural Mosaic of Canada

Interpreting within a cultural mosaic compels us to grapple with how to present multiple perspectives. We may not have permission to tell stories from cultures that aren’t our own. Yet we must acknowledge that every story has multiple perspectives. Join us for a discussion about the intersection of story, culture, empathy, and interpretation.
