Meeting Description: 

Interpreter Training and Humanitarian Interpreting

The work of interpreters in the 21st century is characterised by a need to
adapt to many different contexts and modalities of work. One of these is the
humanitarian context: in conflict zones, in disaster zones, or in refugee
camps for example, interpreters have to cope with specific demands and
realities. How do interpreters respond to them? How are they prepared to face
them? What policies are put in place to help and protect them?

This two-day symposium will look at the challenges and difficulties posed by
such contexts of work and presentations will offer diverse perspectives on
these and other related questions. This symposium is intended for not only
practitioners, trainers and researchers, but also end-users, policy makers,
representatives of NGOs, and stakeholders from the full spectrum of industries
involved in relevant areas. The invited speakers are all experts in distinct
but complementary fields which are fundamental to this important area of the
professional work of interpreters which is now attracting greater attention
and visibility.
