On 14 September 2023, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., in the Conference Room
of the CNR Humanities Centre in Naples, a seminar will be held on “Ways of perceiving and interpreting cultural heritage”. The initiative, jointly organised by the Research Institute on Innovation and Services for Development (CNR-IRISS), the Institute for Mediterranean Studies (CNR-ISMED) and the Institute of Cultural Heritage Sciences (CNR-ISPC), is part of the COST Underground4Value project, aimed at promoting and enhancing underground built heritage as a driver of sustainable development and empowerment for local communities. The first event in the series “Cultural Heritage in Transition”, coordinated by Giuseppe Pace, CNR-IRISS researcher, the seminar, starting from the assumption that in order to enhance cultural heritage it is
necessary to contextualise it within the communities of reference, introduces a new discipline – heritage interpretation – which is not limited to the creation of visitor guidance and accompaniment activities or innovative educational tools, but is open to activating local communities towards original reinterpretations of their own heritage. With both theoretical and experimental contributions, the seminar will also be an opportunity to discuss how international organisations are working to stimulate participatory processes for the creation of sustainable local interpretive practices.Welcomed by @Massimo Clemente (director IRISS-CNR) and moderated by Renata Salvarani (European University of Rome), Carmen Granito (Interpret Europe), Susana Martínez Rodriguez (University of Murcia), and Giuseppe Pace will discuss on how international organisations are engaging in stimulating participatory processes for the creation of sustainable local interpretation practices https://www.cnr.it/it/evento/18683
