Sweden Trip




Hi folks. Just returned from my Sweden workshop with the Sweden National Property Board. We had a great workshop on using interpretation and interpretive planning for the interpretation of their historic buildings and landscapes nationally. Here is a pic from the workshop, attended by managers and staff from their marketing and communications divisions (bottom photo).


I also had a chance to meet over an extended lunch with staff from the Swedish Centre for Nature Interpretation (top photo) to talk about their work in developing interpretation skills and research projects. You can visit their website at http://www.scni.se/. Today is Friday, and I am off to Slovenia for the Climate Change workshop with EU National Park participants. More about that next week. Cheers, John Veverka

Off to Sweden and updates




It's been mostly a quiet few weeks of writing reports and a new article on useing mass customization in interpretive planning - posted at my web site. My new interpretive master planning two-volume text book set should be out this month too - anxious to see them with all the updates.



From the 26th - 29th of Sep. I will be in Sweden, then the following week in Slovenia. Will do some posts from both locations. The Fort Gratiot Light Station project in Port Huron, MI (photo of the Light Station) is almost competed with the final draft sent off for reveiw. So that's about it for now. More at the end of September. - John Veverka
