The importance Interpret Europe – European Association for Heritage Interpretation in the field of European cultural and natural heritage can be summarized in its goal BRINGING HERITAGE TO LIFE!
The mission of Interpret Europe is to serve all who use first-hand experiences to give natural and cultural heritage deeper meaning. Throughout Europe, Interpret Europe furthers good practice and research in heritage interpretation. The Association supports historic sites and monuments, protected areas, museums, zoological and botanical gardens and many other institutions dedicated to natural and cultural heritage in their development and use of a broad range of approaches that turn the immediate experience of natural and cultural heritage into a source of inspiration and creativity – from guided walks to sophisticated exhibitions. Interpret Europe also fosters dialogue and partnership among associations and universities, providers and professionals in Europe and beyond.
Heritage interpretation was first developed for visitors to natural heritage sites, but today’s potential of the interpretive approach reaches much further. By responsibly connecting people with the legacy of previous generations, it not only fosters stewardship of natural and cultural heritage, but also civic engagement, peace and sustainable development in the course of lifelong learning. By encouraging the interpretation of the richness of cultural and natural diversity throughout Europe, and by raising awareness of values related to human dignity, solidarity, or rule of law, heritage interpretation helps to meet some of Europe’s most critical challenges.
The purposes of the Association are:

Using a wide range of approaches that transform the immediate experience of natural and cultural heritage into a source of inspiration and creativity, Interpret Europe encourages dialogue and partnership between stakeholders in administration, associations and universities, cultural service providers and professionals in Europe and beyond.
