I just completed the Interpretive Master Planning Course at Snowdonia National Park Training Center in Wales, UK.  Our group photo, and a pic from our tour at the National Slate Mine Museum are shown.  There are more photos from the course at:  http://pinterest.com/jvainterp/.   Lots going on, including working on our Old Baldy Lighthouse Interpretive Plan, and working on our new "Interpretive Writing" book.  Check out my web site for current projects, etc.  http://www.heritageinterp.com/ .   Cheers, JV

We completed our COE June training program a few weeks ago.  Just catching up on postings.  Here is a video of one of the interpretive programs one of the groups put together as part of the course: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v66l2RiFb3Y&feature=youtu.be that you might enjoy.  What a great and creative class.  The group photo is provided.  More workshop photos at:  http://pinterest.com/jvainterp/

Interpretive Services Course - COE

This coming week I'll be spending with the US Army Corps of Engineers for our Interpretive Services course in Huntsville, Alabama.  This is a 4-day introductory course that covers many aspects of interpretation, including interpretive theory and principles, planning and designing interpretive panels and exhibits, and presenting live interpretive programs.  The above photo is from the January IS course with participants at the Wheeler Wildlife Refuge (our project site) working on interpretive panel projects.
