GAHI World Café Series: Building Global Connection
“Voices of Change”
We’re excited to invite you to join the next interactive session in the GAHI World Café Series: Building Global Connection — Voices of Change. This 90-minute live Zoom event will take place on Thursday, 18th September - at 4:00 pm in the UK.
About the Event
Join interpreters from across the globe for “Voices of Change,” the next very first interactive session in the GAHI World Café Series: Building Global Connection. This 90-minute live Zoom event will connect heritage interpreters in real time through facilitated breakout discussions that explore how we are adapting our practice in a changing world. Together, we’ll dive into questions such as:
- How are you interpreting stories differently to respect multiple perspectives?
- What challenges are you facing in telling inclusive stories?
- What innovative approaches are working in your region or community?
Participants will take part in three dynamic breakout sessions, each designed to foster meaningful conversation, idea exchange, and cross-cultural understanding. This is your chance to connect, reflect, and collaborate with fellow interpreters working in a variety of contexts- from parks and museums to community programs and cultural heritage sites.
Participation Details
- For the best experience, please join from a laptop or desktop with the latest version of Zoom installed.

Saving Ukrainian Heritage
Webinar 1, July 2022: The Love of Freedom: Why the World Needs Skovoroda, and Ukrainian Culture
On Friday night, May 6, 2022, a Russian missile set fire to the Hryhorii Skovoroda National Museum in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine. Skovoroda was a beloved poet, philosopher, teacher and composer whose work is still influencing modern poets today. He has been seen as a symbol of the “love of freedom” and for many, the attack on the museum (which is actually originally Skovoroda’s home) felt like an attack on the soul of the country. We will learn about the Skovoroda museum, before and after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, why the world needs Skovoroda, how interpreters are helping make it visible to the world, and how you can help.
Webinar recording may be viewed on the GAHI Website.
