Innovative, research and creative elements used The Herstóricas team is always up to date on the latest research, implementing those findings into heritage interpretation activities. Immersive techniques are used in some of the activities organised: for example, in some visits and trails people listen to “recordings” of sounds of radio broadcasts from the time of the interpretive activity. Furthermore, their activities have always innovative and not mainstream contents: when an issue becomes broadly known, because it appeared on TV news for example, they im - mediately swift to another topic. Why this activity should be considered a Heritage Interpretation Good Practice? Herstóricas project should be considered a Heritage Interpretation Good Practice because it uses heritage interpretation strategies to safeguard and promote women history and heritage. In their workshops, held with local communities, Herstóricas team contributes to the recognition of the role of women in history and to the self-empowerment of participants themselves. www.herstoricas.com www.facebook.com/herstoricas www.twitter.com/herstoricas Participants checking images during the tour “En busca de las madrileñas”.
