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.

Design with diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in mind! Discover how the East Bay Regional Park District is implementing standards for DEI through partnerships and community building, programming, as well as through the creation of accessible interpretive materials, and visitor center exhibits.  We will share some insights and tools to make your programming and exhibits more inclusive and accessible for all.
