3. Outlook for heritage interpretation in Europe and future prospects. TEHIC Towards a European Heritage Interpretation Curriculum 32 Training I n the United Kingdom , training in heritage interpretation has been linked to training in heritage management, a logical approach considering that heritage interpretation is a discipline concerned with the activation of heritage or, in other words, the enhancement of heritage. Heritage interpretation training in the UK is based on postgraduate university curric - ula, particularly through master's degrees. For a long time, one of the most prestigious Masters in heritage interpretation in the UK has been offered by the University of Bir - mingham, linked to the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust. Currently, the University of Birmingham offers the MA International Heritage Management which is developed around four core modules: A Critical approaches to heritage. B Heritage conservation management. C Heritage management practices. D Heritage interpretation. The last module provides an introduction to the core skills for environmental and her- itage interpretation including: · Interpretative planning. · Exhibition planning and evaluation. · Using appropriate language and texts. · Interpreting objects and collections. · Interpretation of various heritage types of heritage. · Interpretation and formal education. · Creating visitor centres. · Interpretation through multi-media
