Interpret Europe: EVRYNOUS’, in Greek, means open-minded

In the remote NE corner of Greece, where cultures and ethnic groups intermingle for centuries, the project EVRYNOUS offered local people a challenge: to discover the half-forgotten stories of their own regions, weave them together with their own personal stories to create meaningful interpretive walks. The final result was a strong network of local people of the whole Evros prefecture, ready to inspire us with their newly acquired interpretive skills.

In this webinar we will share the highlights of this project, and the lessons learned both by participants and ourselves. Finally, we will try to reach some practical conclusions useful to anyone interested in co-creating heritage interpretation and engaging local communities.

Originally presented live in October 2024 as part of the 2024 Global Excellence in Heritage Interpretation Webinar Series.
