Call for papers: "Heritage interpretation - for the future of Europe"

The 2016 conference of Interpret Europe - the European Association for Heritage Interpretation, organised in partnership with Herita - Flanders Heritage Association, will be held in Mechelen, Belgium, on 21-24 May 2016. The topic of this sixth Interpret Europe Conference is "Heritage interpretation - for the future of Europe".

Proposals for presentations and interactive workshops that particularly address the following subjects are invited:

• Heritage interpretation and the issue of human rights
