Dear All: Am writing from the Philippines. We did an Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) workshop here in Bohol province as part of our sustainable tourism projects. We have found that ESD perspectives are quite helpful for generating data and ideas for the management and interpretation of heritage sites. We will also be incorporating ESD modules into our activities for designing community museums as well as training tour guides. Does anyone have similar experiences? warm regards Victorino Date: Mon, 8 Dec 2008 08:53:30 -0800From: [log in to unmask]: [MUSEUM-L] CRMP Upcoming course: Spring 2009To: [log in to unmask] Apologies for cross-postings.
