“Improving Quality in Educational Interpreting”
From 24th to 26th November 2017
In cooperation with:
The Greek Association of Sign Language Interpreters (SDENG).
The course is part of the Erasmus + programme of the European Union.
The aim of the training is to give participants both an overview of and theoretical grounding in the broad range of interpreting work in educational settings. It will also provide an opportunity to put this knowledge into practice and to reflect on this experience with other participants.
As a Deaf and a hearing interpreter team with a wide range of experience in interpreting and training we wish to share our expertise and improve the skills of our participants. Both perspectives (service provider and Deaf consumer) will play an important role throughout the training.
