Inspire Visitors with PIE and TALK

Monday October 3 from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm
(with a 2 hour lunch break to attend Keynote Speaker)

 $100 (half of the proceeds will be donated to Interpretation Canada)

Join us to explore how to inspire visitors through PIE and TALK, also known as two-way, participatory and dialogic interpretation. In the morning, we will delve into the PIE model- Participation. Information. Engagement. Together, we’ll look at each slice of the PIE and consider the whole PIE as a planning framework. Then we will use the PIE model to plan out a sample interpretation program and talk about how the PIE model has been a valuable tool for training new interpreters.

We will break at 11:30 am to walk to and attend the keynote session and then resume the afternoon workshop at 2:00 pm.  

In the afternoon, we will start with a brief overview of the basics of Dialogic Interpretation- AKA TALK- using Talk types, Asking great questions, Leading with facilitation techniques, and Keeping visitors inspired to take actions. Next, we will explore three topics of concern in Dialogic Interpretation- increasing our participants’ level of engagement, improving the questions we ask, and overcoming common obstacles. Bring your stories to share!

We look forward to inspiring you before the Interpretation Canada Conference even gets going! PIE and TALK are two great techniques to have in your story telling quiver! 

Participants will receive a certificate of completion.
