　　“藏品閱讀”作為培訓班的經典課程之一，此次由美國專家理查德·克雷默和加拿大專家克勞德·福貝爾共同授課。課程選用了七件“藏品”，分別為定窯孩兒枕、累絲香囊、窗欞、脊獸、穿線板、琺瑯瓶和十二花神杯，均為故宮文創產品或教育活動用品。學員在仔細觀察這些物品后，記錄尺寸、顏色、工藝等信息，并通過生動有趣的形式演繹“藏品”的故事。

　　為增進學員間的了解，本期培訓在報到當天特別設置了“展示匯報”環節，鼓勵每位學員上臺展示自我。比利時學員克萊曼斯和中國學員林蘇晗自愿擔任該環節主持，從培訓開始前，就與培訓中心協調人克勞德積極溝通該環節的實現形式，表現出積極認真的態度和良好的組織能力。在該環節，學員依次介紹所在國家或地區的地域特色、代表美食及個人興趣愛好等，有效拉近了學員間的距離，增強了初次見面的趣味性和互動性。

To better know about each other, a “Show and Tell” session was organized before the workshop, in which participants were encouraged to present themselves. Belgian participants Clemence and Chinese participant Lin Suhan volunteered to act as moderators of the session. They communicated actively with the Coordinator of the ICOM-ITC Claude Faubert before the start of the session, showing an earnest attitude and good capacity for organizing. In the session, participants, one by one, introduced the regional features and representative cuisine of their country or region, as well as their interests, which effectively closed the distance between them and enhances the interest and interactivity of the first meeting.
