SAF & Donation
The efsli Supportive Attendance Fund (SAF) ensures the participation of interpreters from European countries with a low COLI, in the AGM, conference and training.
What is SAF?
Sign language interpreters from all around Europe gather once a year at the efsli conference to exchange experiences, share knowledge and gain expertise. They can also follow any of the efsli trainings that are being organised multiple times per year.
To guarantee that all European sign language interpreters can attend the efsli trainings and conference, efsli set up the efsli Supportive Attendance Fund (SAF) in 2004. SAF provides financial support primarily to interpreters from European countries with a cost-of-living index of 50 or lower. Interpreters from other European countries also are very welcome to apply for a funding. For details see the guide to application.
The Supportive Attendance Fund depends on donations.
