The workshop aims at providing future tourist guides with the fundamental Heritage Interpretation techniques, which are aimed at transforming the one-way communicational model of a "traditional" guided visit, into a learning experience based on a conversational approach. Students will learn how to design and deliver an interpretive product: talks and guided tours, self-guided trails and written texts.
