🎉 20.º Aniversário Sciaena 🎉

Há duas décadas que trabalhamos por um oceano mais saudável, pescas sustentáveis e comunidades costeiras resilientes.

Nestes 20 anos, promovemos a conservação marinha através da ciência, da arte, da colaboração e do envolvimento de quem depende e cuida do mar, em Portugal e na Europa.

Hoje celebramos este percurso e expressamos o nosso agradecimento a todas as pessoas, organizações e comunidades que fizeram — e continuam a fazer — parte desta história. 💙🌊

Still inspired by the conversations, ideas and connections shared at the Interpret Europe Conference 2026 in Faro.

Over these days, heritage professionals, interpreters, researchers and cultural practitioners came together to reflect on how interpretation can foster participation, dialogue and stronger connections with both cultural and natural heritage.

Under the theme “Re-interpreting heritage in the light of Faro”, the conference created a valuable space to exchange perspectives, challenge approaches and imagine more inclusive and meaningful ways of engaging communities. 

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed with their knowledge, generosity and enthusiasm — and to all the people behind the organisation of such an inspiring event.

Faro was the perfect setting for these conversations, reminding us how heritage is ultimately about people, stories and shared experiences.

Until next time ✨

Shared Futures is a European cooperation project that brings cultural and creative professionals together with communities, environmental actors, and funders to imagine more sustainable futures for the sector. By fostering structured collaboration between artists and stakeholders, Shared Futures turns sustainability from a policy expectation into a shared cultural practice and supports a more resilient, inclusive, and future-oriented cultural sector.

As part of the project, we’re looking for Social Dreamers, who will take on a key creative role of helping guide conversations that connect culture, sustainability, and social imagination.

What a rich and inspiring second day at the Interpret Europe Conference 2026 in Faro.

From thought-provoking sessions and workshops to conversations that continued beyond the sessions, Day 2 reminded us how powerful can be in connecting people, heritage, place, and democratic values.

A special part of the day was the six study visits, which invited participants to discover Faro and the Algarve through different lenses:
🔹 Cork is everywhere
🔹 It’s all about stories
🔹 Once a coveted treasure
🔹 Through time and cultures
🔹 Ria Formosa
🔹 The other Algarve

The openning of Interpret Europe Conference 2026 in Faro, Portugal.

During four days, 144 participants from 35 countries across 4 continents will gather around the theme Re-interpreting heritage in the light of Faro, reflecting on how interpretation can help connect people, place, heritage, and democratic values in meaningful and lasting ways.

The conference opened with contributions from
🔹 Gonçalo Carvalho, Sciaena Association,
🔹 Helena Vičič, Director of Interpret Europe,
🔹 Yoana Stefanova, Project Officer at the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA),
🔹 Bruno Inácio, Vice-President of the Culture Department of CCDR Algarve – Comissão de Coordenação e Desenvolvimento Regional do Algarve, I.P.
🔹 António Miguel Pina, President of the Municipality of Faro, and
🔹 Guilherme d’Oliveira Martins, Council of Europa Nostra.

In her welcome speech, Helena Vičič, Director of Interpret Europe, offered a powerful reminder that if we want democracy to endure, we must strengthen people’s ability to interpret for themselves, not simply to receive.
Wishing all participants, speakers, and organisers an enriching and inspiring conference.
