How would you describe your level of professional involvement and your ability to contribute to the development of other interpreters and to I-PAL’s mission?

1 star indicates a very low level of engagement; 5 stars represent a very high level of involvement, with mentoring and leadership capacity and active contribution to I-PAL’s mission.

Please select your level of professional involvement using the scale:

Very Low | I am currently in a learning phase. I’m becoming familiar with heritage interpretation and do not yet feel ready to actively support other colleagues.Low | I am willing to collaborate occasionally and on specific tasks. Although my experience is limited, I am interested in contributing gradually.Moderate | I have knowledge and experience that I can share. I feel capable of participating regularly, contributing ideas, and supporting the development of other interpreters when the opportunity arises.High | I am committed to the community. I actively collaborate, share what I’ve learned, and am interested in supporting colleagues in their professional growth and in projects aligned with I-PAL’s mission.Very High | I am prepared to take on a leadership, mentoring, or strategic contribution role. My experience allows me to actively support other interpreters and collaborate directly with I-PAL’s initiatives and organisational development.

And finally, we’d love to know what motivates you to join our network and how you’d like to participate. What inspires you about the work we do in heritage interpretation? In what ways do you think you can contribute or grow alongside fellow colleagues? We would love to hear your perspective.
