VISITOR EXPERIENCE TRAINING WORKSHOP
SCHOLARSHIP DEADLINE EXTENDED TO OCTOBER 7 AND REGISTRATIONS STILL
AVAILABLE
The deadline for submitting a scholarship application for the California
Association of Museums' (CAM) Visitor Experience Training workshop has
been extended to Friday, October 7, 2005. Visitor Experience Training is
the last workshop in CAM's 2005 Regional Workshop Series. This workshop
will explore current educational and visitor studies theory shaping
museum experiences and how these theories can be effectively applied to
the floor. The goal is to provide a consistent understanding of what
museums do and reconcile that with visitors' expectations and actual
experiences. Through interactive exercises and real gallery visits,
participants will use Falk & Dierking's Interactive Experience Model to
practice identifying parts of the visitor experience; design an exhibit
and a program using the theories of Howard Gardner and Mihaly
Csikszentmihalyi; and consider the move toward lifelong education in
Falk & Dierking's new work Lessons Without Limits and Guy Claxton's
Wiseup. The workshop is presented by Lynn Rosamond Norris, Director of
Visitor Relations at COPIA: The American Center for Wine, Food, and the
Arts.
