Contemporary interpreters are tasked with facilitating experiences and not solely imparting information. This webinar examines skills from the facilitation field that could enhance visitor-centered interpretation. Facilitation skills include active listening, creating a welcoming environment, fostering participation, managing group dynamics, and more. Join us to enhance your interpretive practice with facilitation techniques.

Dr. Jacquie Gilson, a certified facilitator with a Certificate in Adult Learning from the University of Calgary, has applied her expertise in roles such as interpretive manager, trainer, and coach. Currently, she focuses on training interpreters for participatory and dialogic interpretation, emphasizing the critical role of facilitation skills in mastering these techniques.

We all have the same amount of time each week to do what needs to be done. Learn how you can use that time more efficiently to become more productive. In addition to covering core time management fundamentals, we will also cover how to integrate the challenges of scheduling while working a public facing job with minimal administrative time.

Matt Villamaino is the Regional Interpretive Coordinator for the Central Region of Massachusetts State Parks. Prior to his current position, he was the interpretive supervisor at Pilgrim Memorial State Park (Plymouth Rock). Technically, he started in the interpretive field at the age of 8 when he and a friend opened a dinosaur museum in his basement, donating the money to the Springfield Science Museum for "more dinosaurs." He is a Certified Interpretive Trainer, Certified Interpretive Planner, and Certified Heritage Interpreter.
