About the project
Mainly due to EU structural funds, millions
of euros are invested into the field of heritage interpretation
across the region. This includes new museums, exhibitions,
education trails, restoration and promotion of cultural and
natural heritage sites. The effort is often inspired by
world-class interpretation projects implemented in Western
Europe. New digital media and interactivities are often promoted
as the modern way of approaching visitors. Few existing
evaluation studies that emerged in the V4 in the recently show
that the real performance/outputs of projects and the impact on
visitors are behind descriptions in the grant applications. The
reason is that projects do not put emphasis on the content
development due to lack of know-how in heritage interpretation.
Thus, the investments do not achieve their full potential because
of missing soft-skills.
The aim of the project is to offer
current cutting-edge courses in heritage interpretation
to participants in the Visegrad countries and the Balkans. While
scoping and scrutinizing available courses during the first
face-to-face partners’ meeting (Hungary, March 2018), Interpret Europe Certified Interpretive Writer Course (CIW) was
considered the most relevant one for the current situation in the
partner countries. The course deals with written texts and thus
aims at heritage interpretation tools with the highest delivery
costs (museums, visitor centres, educational trails). The course
was developed in 2017 by Interpret Europe umbrella organization
and the price for the five day training is starting at 400€
excluding travel and boarding costs, which makes it unachievable
for participants from the Visegrad countries.
The idea of the project is to train
qualified lecturers from V4 countries + Slovenia, transfer
the course to national languages, run pilot trainings, make final
version of the course and make it available to
professionals in the cultural and natural heritage field in
respective countries for a fragment (about 25%) of the standard
Western European price and thus contribute to the needed soft
skill development.
The project is supported by the Visegrad Fund.
Calendar
Dates, locations of the courses and contact
information will be specified during the project, at least 3
months ahead of a respctive event.
