Who are we?

We are an independent and non-profit association that brings together people from across Europe who are professionally involved in heritage interpretation.

Our membership includes:

• practitioners on the ground
• consultants
• teachers, trainers, researchers
• organisations that use interpretation as a
  management tool at heritage sites and museums, and
• others who want to help further our aims.

Our mission is to foster and further
good practice and research in heritage interpretation
throughout Europe. More about our vision and our goals.

How do we do it?

• We provide services to organisations and individuals
  who are interested in developing, supporting and promoting
  interpretation of natural and cultural heritage.

• We encourage the exchange of experience and ideas,
  and collaboration on a Europe-wide basis
  to raise the profile and impact of professional interpretation
  in European and international debates.

• Our work complements the activities of national associations
  for heritage interpretation in individual countries.

• We also want to help those who live in countries
  which have no association for interpretation.

• We aim to establish common standards for interpretation across Europe.
