(Module 440) Interdisciplinary Workshop

Place: Presidio of San Francisco, California

Dates: October 23-28, 2011

Description: This 5-day workshop will enhance interdisciplinary
communication skills for using a team approach to develop and produce
effective public interpretation and education programs and products.
Interpreters and educators gain knowledge of archeological and cultural
heritage for developing presentations and media about cultural heritage
resources. Cultural resource specialists and archeologists gain knowledge
and skills in interpretation for developing interpretive presentations and
media about cultural resources. Each group will gain knowledge and skills
through increased dialogue and interactions between cultural resource
specialists and interpreters for joint development of effective
interpretation of cultural heritage. With multi-agency instructors and
students, the program augments the missions of federal agencies to provide
interagency technical assistance and information exchange.

Target audience: interpreters, education specialists, cultural resource
specialists, archeologists, museum specialists, and resource managers.
