In today’s fast paced and changing world, interpreters and guides need to be facilitators of experiences, and not merely presenters of information.
Participatory and Dialogic Interpretation are two frameworks that could help interpreters be more visitor-centred. Participatory Interpretation techniques help to engage visitors actively during interpretive experiences, and Dialogic Interpretation techniques help visitors connect to place by talking about the site and/or its stories.
METHODOLOGY
Holistic Inspiration-based Interpretation
All InterpActive training is guided by Holistic Inspiration-based Interpretation as covered in Dr. Jacquie’s book Inspired to Inspire (2020).
Through these training courses and follow up coaching, your staff/volunteers will gain the tools they need to be more at ease with two-way interactions with visitors.
All InterpActive courses are participatory and Dr. Jacquie will involve you and your team in many different facilitation techniques you could also use with your visitors. Throughout the courses, discussions will be tailored toward your site and your circumstances, as much as possible. As a bonus, you will leave these courses with thoughts for ways to report on the successes of participatory and dialogic interpretation to your management.
And you will be inspired!
