Sulejówek i Polen
2025 års stora europeiska konferens om naturvägledning och interpretation. Denna gång på relativt nära avstånd från Sverige: i Polen. Fokus på denna konferens är "Heroes, anti-heroes and villains: How we (re)create, use and dismantle them."
We all have our ‘heroes’, personally or as a community. In common understanding, ‘heroes’ are significant people, or animals, that have done something brave, new or good. Whether it’s a popular person or a group of silent heroes – there are always stories to tell. This points to the second meaning of ‘hero’: in fiction, poetry and films, ‘heroes’ are the protagonists, the main characters of a captivating story. Both meanings of ‘hero’ may overlap; both matter for interpreters of natural and cultural heritage.
Let’s explore and discuss the depiction of a national hero from a European and national perspectives – and reflect critically upon what the concepts of ‘hero’ and ‘heroisation’ mean for interpreters and communities in different parts of Europe and beyond.
