BEST Roadtrip • National Park Service
Katherine Wonson, Director of the Western Center for Historic Preservation (WCHP), established a goal to level up the delivery of internal courses offered by a nationwide network of instructors (BEST–what does this stand for?) from the National Parks Service. Under Katherine’s leadership, the WCHP elected to bring experiential learning to an initial cohort of 14 historic preservation instructors. In response, TOPOnexus–Center for Learn Local designed and facilitated the BEST Road Trip, an innovative nine-month training.
TOPO Connect Workshop - SMU Ladies Group
TOPOnexus was contracted to create a 2.5 hour Adventure Workshop for 11 adult participants who were visiting Harbor Springs from various cities around the country (Texas, Kentucky, Illinois), and wanted to learn and experience more about the city. These 11 participants had been visiting Harbor Springs together for the past 10 years, and were seeking a fun, group half-day that would enhance their connection with Harbor Springs.
By collaborating with the ‘lead organizer’ of the group, TOPOnexus was able to provide a positive experience and in-depth connection to place for the participants.
