Participants will also explore:
• Advantages of team interpreting for deaf and hearing cosumers
• How to encourage hearing interpreters to work in teams with their Deaf colleagues
• How Deaf consumers can argue for their right to a deaf interpreter
• How to develop arguments stating that Deaf interpreters should have the same training, work opportunities and working conditions as their hearing colleagues
