Training Description
Thinking critically about ethical issues and professional behaviour
This training will focus on ethical issues and professional conduct through a critical perspective. Historically, interpreters’ ethical issues were solely centred around the deontological approach based on a strict adherence to set rules. However, professional ethical principles do not apply themselves, they require a critical thinking mind to assess facts and interpret situations. The evolution of interpreting and translation studies have gradually focused on other approaches and perspectives. Thinking through ethics is a complex decision-making process aiming at taking an action that is fair for all the parties involved in the interpreting practice. This training will provide participants with an opportunity to reflect on ethical issues and develop strategies in the decision-making process. Participants will be required to provide their own input based on an interactive participation. Some homework will be also assigned prior to training.
Important note: this two-day programme has been designed for interpreters who have not been formally trained on these issues and tailored-made on the needs expressed by the host Croatian association. The detailed programme will be provided to registered participants.
