Cooperation with interpreters
Do you have experience of working as an interpreter and want to help creating spaces where people can meet and communicate with each other – regardless of their native language or their functional impairment? If so, you are welcome to cooperate with us!
You can cooperate with us by:
- Taking part in our free of charge – course, which is an educational course for interpreters in which you will learn how to carry out simultaneous interpreting with wireless equipment and get tools to develop your language, as well as other tools that you can use when interpreting situations. You will become more inclusive in your interpreting, with a focus on interpreting in a functional impairment context. You will learn the basics of language justice and how interpreters can contribute towards creating inclusive, multilingual spaces.
- Work with us! We plan to hire some of the interpreters who attend the training course – and possibly others – on a temporary basis as required. All interpreters hired within the project will be paid for all the hours they spend interpreting, including all preparation hours.
- Join our network: We will build a network for interpreters where they can develop continuously within the projects multilingual foundation.
Sounds interesting? Please contact us! The most important thing is that you are committed or have an interest in language justice and questions related to functional impairments.
