Illuminate UK - Education - Junior Tour Guides Workshop.
Originally a project run by Linlithgow Primary School and Historic Scotland's Linlithgow Palace this innovative scheme has now been rolled out across Scotland.
Staff from the Illuminate UK team have trained P5, 6 and 7 children to become tour guides at the following places of interest: Doune Castle, Claypotts Castle, the Scottish Seabird Centre, Loretto School, Callendar House, Craigmillar Castle, Stanley Mills, Iona Abbey and the Blackhouse at Arnol on the Isle of Lewis.
Each site and school has a tour or site specific play especially created for them following careful consultation and research. The Illuminate team then train the children on site in presentation and communication, group management, voice, movement and storytelling and run rehearsals in conjunction with school staff.
Junior Tour Guides can then go on to market and promote their services to other schools and manage bookings as well as delivering their tour/performance throughout the school year.
