Just 3 weeks to Peeling back the layers!

Staged on the Apple Isle, join us as we get to the core of what matters in natural and cultural heritage interpretation.

Can you risk not being there?

Our key note speakers are sure to challenge and inspire you – and our program of dynamic presenters probe a range of ‘juicy’ topics that promise to reveal exciting and fresh new insights for professionals and new comers alike!

Join us as our speakers delve into the intricacies of telling difficult stories and present the new and the excellent in interpretation, with techniques to reach audiences of the new decade.

Storyteller Catherine McCarthy, examines the field of location-based interpretive technology, particularly hand-held digital technologies, as a critical tool in her desire to connect people with nature. Social media expert Kate Stone reviews the impact of new web technologies on cultural interpretation and the organisational cultural change it brings.

In telling difficult stories, Lycia Trouton explores issues of monumentality and the intimate art of memory and story-telling, while Jody Steele looks at the layers of technique in communicating archaeology to the public. Dillon Kombumerri, Australia’s first Indigenous architect, with several award-winning projects, brings insight into how cultural protocol, when working with Indigenous communities, can fundamentally shape design outcomes.

Peter Grant peels back the layers on interpreters themselves. Using the interpretive planning process for Tasmania’s iconic Overland Track, he asks how interpreters can reach the deepest layers within themselves to be true to their subject. While Jane James explores how to harvest a bumper crop, when interpretation as a strategic priority can lead to stunning visitor experiences that are good for the visitor and good for business.

ASCers will be saddened to hear the following news of a British colleague.

I know there are quite a few fellow Australian science communicators who, like me, have fond memories of Jen from the Edinburgh Science Festival in the late 90s and early 00s.

Regan

From: big-chat@yahoogroups.com [mailto:big-chat@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of ltclarkuk Sent: Sunday, 15 August 2010 6:51 AM To: big-chat@yahoogroups.com Subject: [big-chat] Tragic News

I am sorry to have to pass on the news to BIG members that Jen Simpson, who worked at National Museums Scotland and previously at the Edinburgh International Science Festival died in a tragic diving accident on 6th August. Friends, colleagues and family paid tribute at a memorial service on Friday.

For those of you who knew Jen (and i’m sure there are many on this list) you will know that I cannot hope to do her justice in words.

For those of you who were not fortunate enough to have met Jen, you should know that she was a vivacious, enthusiastic and fun-loving communicator of science. Many elements of the Edinburgh Science Festival and the programmes at our various Museums are a product of her amazing imagination and drive to engage families with science in a fun way.

On behalf of myself and all her colleagues at National Museums Scotland I can confidently say that she has inspired numerous colleagues and visitors and we will all miss her dearly.

Lyndsey.

Hmm. So they say that:

“The premise of the show is to carry out a social experiment. . .. We will couple together beautiful, socially savvy women with highly intelligent males, and through a series of challenges, see what they learn from each other. The idea is to embrace and celebrate the talent and individuality of each contestant.”

I confess I’ve never seen the show, but the promos suggest a completely different proposition, namely: we put socially awkward nerds and outrageously stupid bimbos together and humiliate them all for your viewing pleasure!

They don’t make it look like much ‘learning’, ’embracing’ or ‘celebrating’ are going on at all . . .

Does anyone have any experience of the show besides my cynical observations from afar?

Regan
