Interpretive Writing for

Natural and Cultural Heritage

A jointly certified course by Interpret Europe and

the Heritage Management Organization

3-7 November 2018 (with available option of a 3-day course, 3-5 November)

Location: The Heritage Management Organization Headquarters

Kimonos 11 & Pagkalou streets, 19200, Elefsina, Greece

The key to effective word-based Heritage Interpretation is written text that grabs and holds the reader’s attention.

During a 5-day course participants will discover and practice a wide range of techniques to engage readers and master the techniques of interpretive writing. Participants will have the opportunity to strive to become a Certified Interpretive Writer awarded by Interpret Europe, the European Association for Heritage Interpretation, after successfully completing, and being assessed on, the following exercises:

1) develop a strong theme for a piece of interpretive writing

2) turn a poorly written and laid out graphic panel into a good example of interpretive writing and panel presentation

3) prepare a piece of interpretive writing incorporating the techniques taught in the course

4) edit and rewrite some difficult text utilizing the principles of interpretive writing and the importance of plain language

In addition to the tasks above, participants will take part in a range of other exciting activities. This includes a visit to the Elefsina archaeological site looking at how it is interpreted - creating a new graphic panel. Participants will also write a creative interpretive text about their chosen heritage feature in Elefsina.

3-day option

This year we are offering a 3-day option from 3-5 November. Participants selecting this option should be aware that 16 additional hours of coursework must be done at home, including completing the certification tasks. Please indicate your preference on the form.

Human Resource Management for Heritage Organizations

The Heritage Management Organization

Training Heritage Leaders

Autumn 2018

Executive Leadership Development in Heritage Management Workshops

Human Resource Management

for

Heritage Organizations

23-25 November, 2018

Location: The Heritage Management Organization Headquarters,

Kimonos 11 & Pagkalou, Elefsina, Greece

This workshop explores the crucial subject of people management in not-for-profit Heritage Organizations. People are simultaneously the largest single item of operating costs and the only source of conservation, service and innovation. They are therefore the key asset in all organizations focused on those objectives and the management of people is a key concern for executives.

During these 3 days, the importance of human resource management in not-for-profit organizations and the distinctive nature of such organizations (public and non-government; large and small) will be investigated. The different stages of management of employees and volunteers will also be examined, in an effort to identify the key issues and the practical options available to managers who are not HRM experts.

The course involves working with the participants to surface their issues and concerns, to encourage mutual sharing and learning and to developing ideas and networks.

Please note that these three days offer an opportunity for reflection and learning and for that, active participation from all course members is required. This course does not come with a pre-established set of answers. It is the firm belief of its organizers and leaders that whilst it is possible to learn from existing research and experience, there is no ‘one best way’ that fits every organization: people management is different in every context and it is the responsibility of managers in each case to understand their situation and to take appropriate action.

The workshop’s leader, Chris Brewster, is Professor of International Human Resource Management at the Henley Business School, University of Reading, UK. In addition to his teaching role and consultancy assignments for many private sector organizations, Prof. Brewster has worked with the United Nations, many of the UN organizations and agencies, the European Commission, the IFC and the AfDB, NGOs and other international organizations on various aspects of their own human resource management. A prolific author with 30 books and over 200 articles published, Prof. Brewster has also been entrusted with drafting the new six-year HRM strategy for UNESCO and was awarded in 2002 the Georges Petitpas Memorial Award by the World Federation of Personnel Management Associations (WFPMA) in recognition of his outstanding contribution to international human resource management. 

·         Suggested donation for participation: 1500 Euros (tuition, refreshments and light lunch).

·         American Express Foundation scholarships (partial or full coverage towards tuition, board and accommodation) will be available for participants from World Monuments Fund partner organizations (excluding airfare/travel expenses and our Organization’s membership fee).

·         Kaplan Foundation Scholarships (partial or full coverage towards tuition, board and accommodation) will be available for individuals actively involved in the research, study and promotion of the sites of Corinth, Delos, Larisa and Olympia (excluding airfare/travel expenses and our Organization’s 2018 membership fee).

Săptămâna Europeană a Limbilor - 2018

Săptămâna Europeană a Limbilor

21-29 septembrie 2018

Voi câte limbi vorbiţi? În fiecare an, pe 26 septembrie celebrăm Ziua Europeană a Limbilor. În 2018,  sărbătorim diversitatea lingvistică a Europei nu doar o singură zi, ci timp de o săptămână întreagă!

Reţeaua institutelor culturale europene, EUNIC România, şi Comisia Europeană, în parteneriat cu Muzeul Naţional de Istorie Naturală „Grigore Antipa”, Centrul Naţional de Cultură al Romilor „Romano Kher”şi Europa FM v-au pregătit o serie de evenimente speciale - ateliere, conferinţe, proiecţii de film, jocuri, concursuri şi o expoziţie– dedicate diversităţii lingvistice.

Se spune că e extraordinar să stăpâneşti mai multe limbi străine! Concret, cum ne ajută acest lucru să ne apropiem de oameni aparţinând unor culturi diferite şi să ne dezvoltăm pe plan personal? Ce se întâmplă în creierul fiecăruia dintre noi atunci când trecem de la o limbă la alta? Ar fi oare posibil, cândva, să vorbim limbi diferite dar să ne înţelegem între noi?Descoperiţi modul în care multilingvismul ne îmbunătăţeşte performanţele mentale și face casa noastră comună europeană mai trainică.

21.09, 17.30, Atrium-ul Institutului Francez Bucureşti (Bd. Dacia 77)– „Cum traducem poezie; avantajele Festivalurilor internaţionale de poezie”, conferinţă cu participarea poeţilor Chantal Danjou (Franţa) şi Germain Droogenbroodt (Belgia). Conferinţă în limba franceză cu traducere simultană în limba română.

Autoare a peste treizeci de lucrări (poezie, eseu, proză), critic literar, doctor în literatură, profesor cu o carieră îndelungată, Chantal Danjou este, în prezent, formator în cadrul instituţiilor universitare care formează cadre didactice ; în paralel, contribuie la popularizarea poeziei contemporane în cadrul asociaţiei La Roue Traversière, căreia îi este membru fondator. Germain Droogenbrooteste poet, traducător şi editor. Volumele sale de poezie au fost publicate în 28 de ţări. Organizează sau face parte din consiliile de conducere ale unor evenimente europene prestigioase de poezie, precum Festivalul „Mihai Eminescu” din România, al cărui vice-preşedinte este. Chantal Danjou şi Germain Droogenbroot studiază evoluţia limbii în lirica actuală, modificările intervenite în adresare şi la nivel conceptual.

22.09, 17.00, Cinema Elvire Popesco (Bd. Dacia 77)- proiecţie de film – La Cour de Babelde Julie Bertucelli (2013). Documentarul urmăreşte, timp de un an întreg, cotidianul unei clase de liceeni de la Colegiul parizian La Grange aux Belles. Toţi aceşti adolescenţi sunt veniţi din toate colţurile lumii, nu au prea multe în comun la început, iar şansa comunicării lor este învăţarea unei limbi comune, franceza în cazul de faţă… Film în mai multe limbi subtitrat în limba română

24.09, 18.30, Atrium-ul Institutului Francez Bucureşti (Bd. Dacia 77)– expoziţie – Traducerea automată : revoluţia inteligenţei artificiale.

Ce întrebuinţări ar putea avea? O expoziţie concepută de Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie, un lieu Universcience (Paris). Expoziţie prezentată în colaborare cu Bucharest Science Festival

24.09, 18.30, Atrium-ul Institutului Francez Bucureşti (Bd. Dacia 77)- „Ce spun? Ce înţelegi?”, jocuri şi experienţe interactive de traducere (public tânăr şi adult) ; „În mintea unui interpret de conferinţă” – sesiune de întrebări şi răspunsuri (Q/A) despre experienţa unui astfel de profesionist. Eveniment în mai multe limbi; Q/A în limba română.

Autoare a numeroase lucrări, având o activitate de pionierat în domeniul studiilor interculturale ale învăţării limbilor străine în Franţa, Michèle Kail a schimbat abordarea cercetărilor în acest sector ştiinţific, privilegiind mai degrabă procesul de dobândire a cunoştinţelor decât competenţele finale. Cercetătoarea a contribuit la elaborarea unui model interconectat şi multicultural al înţelegerii şi utilizării unei limbi. Conferinţă în limba franceză cu traducere simultană în limba română.

28.09, 18.00, Atrium-ul Institutului Francez Bucureşti (Bd.
