3. Outlook for heritage interpretation in Europe and future prospects. 33 The example of the University of Birmingham helps to illustrate the reality of heritage interpretation training in the UK, the only European country that understands heritage interpretation as a specific academic discipline aimed to enhance heritage. In the Netherlands , a reference country in Europe in terms of museology and muse - ography, heritage interpretation has been somewhat restricted to the field of tourism, as a discipline that had to do with tourist adaptation of heritage sites. Although the inter- pretive approach in the Netherlands is very similar to that in the UK, in terms of the idea of enhancement planning, this approach had not caught on in the academic world until the recent creation of the Centre for Global Heritage and Development, a partnership between Leiden University, Delft University of Technology and the Erasmus University of Rotterdam. The Centre for Global Heritage and Development builds on its multi-university and interdisciplinary status to go beyond the traditional study of heritage, focusing on how heritage relates to cultural, social and environmental developments and decisions, because, according to the promoters of the project, "heritage studies in the 21 st century call for a new approach, a partnership between archaeology, architecture, the social sciences, the humanities, law, science, technology and design, and urban and regional studies” . According to the European Associa- tion for Heritage Interpretation , i n other European countries, training in heritage interpretation ranges from non-regulated environmental educa- tion courses to higher studies linked to museology. The Belarusian State University of Minsk offers a module in cultural and natural heritage inter- pretation within the studies in International Tourism. In Croatia , the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Department of Museology, of the University of Zagreb offers a module in herit - age interpretation. In the Czech Republic , the Masaryk University in Brno, offers a module on “Environmental Interpretation” open to all students of the Faculty of Social Studies, Department of Environmental Studies. In Germany , the University Albert-Ludwigs of Freiburg, has a module entitled “Communication Strategies for Conservation: Interpreta- tion of cultural and natural heritage sites,” and is offered within the curricula of Environmental Studies and Sustainability. Also in Germany, the Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development (HNEE ) offers a Master in Regional Development and Nature Conservation, which includes a module on “Non-formal environmental education in lei- sure and interpretation.” “Die Wahrheit wird euch freimachen” (“The truth will set you free”).
