Does your site have what families want? Connecting with a family audience is important not only in terms of immediate visitors, but in terms of building relationships with visitors when they are young and keeping them interested in heritage.
Here at Kate Measures Consulting, we want to help you get the best out of your site and visitors, and help your visitors get the best out of you. We believe that anyone can provide excellent interpretation and any site can appeal to families if managed well. Appealing to children's desire to play and learn, and to parent’s desire to engage their children, is half the battle with family offers.
We are thrilled to announce our first national Happy Families Showcase, at Wollaton Hall, Nottingham on March 14th 2012. The conference has first class keynote speakers, including Training Manger Kate Measures, and Graham Blight, Head of Engagement at The Woodland Trust lecturing on engaging families and their hugely successful Nature Detectives program.
The Ideas Swap Shop portion is open for all delegates to participate in to learn from each other’s experience, build relationships and develop your own ideas in company with likeminded professionals. You’ll be able to exercise your inner child with our slightly structured, high energy, very exciting a Creative Chaos session with all manner of stuff-making fun.
We have provided an extensive suppliers exhibition for you to identify and obtain the resources you need to implement your family offer. You can get support with and work on what you want to with a range of workshops tailored to your needs, jam packed with practical tips and time saving hints, with a learning discussion and feedback session afterwards. After a look back over the best interpretation ideas and innovations of 2011, we will end with an evaluation session and a ‘What’s Next’ session to make sure you got the most out of the day.
Whether you know and love Kate Measures Training Days, or have never tried us before, this conference is a great way to enhance and develop your family offer in a fun and friendly environment full of creativity and innovation. It would benefit all manner of sites, from museums to gardens and houses, and all members, from management to visitor facing, as well as volunteers.
