Interpretation: Creativity and Agility Driven by People

Jan 14, 2026 | 11:00 AM - 11:55 AM

Description

In today’s context, cultural venues must demonstrate greater agility and creativity than ever to sustain and strengthen their relationship with audiences. This capacity relies fundamentally on people: the committed teams within interpretation and education departments, whose ingenuity has become a critical lever for institutional anchoring and long-term sustainability. Drawing on concrete case studies and professional insights, this panel will highlight how interpretation and education teams turn constraints into engines for innovation by mobilising collective intelligence, on-the-ground expertise, human connection, and everyday creativity. Supported by a wide range of skills, backgrounds, and perspectives, these teams design tailored and inventive approaches that truly serve the needs of audiences. Retaining and developing the potential of these teams appears as a key condition for ensuring both inventiveness and adaptability - essential drivers of resilience for cultural institutions.
