Interpreting for Social Justice Training
The Language Justice Initiative promotes best practices for creating inclusive, multilingual spaces where all languages are valued equally, and speakers of different languages benefit from listening to and sharing with each other. From December 2-4, VCIC will be convening a free workshop that introduces participants to interpretation skills with a foundation in principles of inclusion. This workshop is open to all individuals that find themselves in spaces where they are needed, or want, to interpret, and want to do so through a social justice lens. All levels, languages, and ages are welcome. Click here to learn more and register!
