Welcome

Welcome to the Interpretaction website.

Interpretaction is an associates-based network of interpretation professionals located across the UK and in Europe.  It was established by Verity Walker in 1999 after a 20+ year career in museums and heritage organisations.  We can offer:

• planning, writing and implementing interpretation projects
• evaluation and audit of existing interpretive structures/projects
• development of live interpretation
• tailor-made training programmes for staff or volunteers
• devising of artistic and poetic interpretive projects and techniques
• interpretive song-writing
• research into the efficacy of different interpretive methods
• heritage education planning
• INSET days for teachers and heritage education staff/volunteers
• photography for interpretive projects
• a good selection of high-resolution Scottish wild and garden plant images (just ask!)

Based on the Black Isle just north of Inverness in the Scottish Highlands, Verity also has a base in Cippenham near London, and works throughout Europe and the UK, hand-picking appropriate teams of experienced associates for each project (see People page).

Verity is a full member of the Association for Heritage Interpretation, a member of the Group for Education in Museums and the Museums Association, and was a voluntary director of the International Museums Theatre Alliance for 7 years (2000 - 2007).
