Have you ever been to the lakeland of Finland during autumn time?
Now there is a very good reason to travel to Central Finland and participate the Nordic World Heritage Conference 2024 in Jyväskylä and Petäjävesi! The theme of the conference is:
From Interpretation to Communication
This year we want to explore practices and experiences of implementing interpretation work into the daily communication of world heritage sites. Therefore the topic of the conference is World Heritage: From Interpretation to Communication. This might mean different customer service channels such as guided tours, exhibitions, website content, sales pitches or grant applications. How can we best communicate the value and uniqueness of world heritage with our stakeholders and public?
