The European Network for Heritage Interpretation (Interpret Europe) is dedicated to enhancing the quality of the interpretation and presentation of the European natural and cultural heritage through a continent-wide association of individuals and supporting organisations.

The goals of the network are:

• To enable effective communications between all those that practice and support heritage interpretation;

• To facilitate co-operation between different interest groups and develop and co-ordinate joint initiatives;

• To promote wider support for, and create a better understanding of, interpretative practice and the benefits that it offers for the quality management of heritage resources;

• To raise the quality of interpretation and presentation through a programme of activities;

• To become recognised as a leading European Association of professional bodies and individuals.

The values held by the network:

• We consider the natural and cultural heritage, and its diversity, an important part of European identity.

• We strive for a better understanding of these natural and cultural heritage resources and the essential role of professional interpretation.

• We will promote and support enhancement of the quality and appeal of heritage attractions for visitors/tourists and local communities.

• We will actively support sustainable development, especially sustainable tourism, and the appropriate regeneration of urban & rural areas.

• We will promote active interdisciplinary networking and integration of sectors.
