For hairdressing, for example, they might have some doll's heads set up where the visitors can come and learn how to braid hair. Just something simple but it gets the public involved.

Yeah, it's good in theory, but in reality it's really a matter of space and $$$. Maybe for those more complicated they could have past competitors or and expert in that field to talk to the public or brochures drawn up explaining a little about each category?

I think the tours in Helsinki were for everyone not just schools, weren't they? I could be wrong. But even so, a tour may not be of great help to some people. I know that when I've got someone trying to explain something to me I lose track. I need to be shown how to do something and have a go myself. So I think you have a good point Viridis, the interaction is a good idea. Kind of like the Try'a Trade that WorldSkills Australia run here.
