Vlogpost Oct2024 on the @efsli conference @HW_LifeinLINCS @HeriotWattBSL https://t.co/TDyjtC9pHf https://t.co/9Y675Mpoeq

WFD was in Italy for the #G7 on inclusion and disability, a gathering of the world's 7 top countries and other invited countries. 🌐 We took the opportunity to present the needs of our members, many national associations of the #deaf, to the leaders who were present.

@AnneliesKusters @drcastone is now exploring the strategies healthcare interpreters use in two-way interpreting settings. Multimodal (MM) communication involves stepping back to observe direct interactions between primary participants & judging when & how to add content or tap into their MM comms

@AnneliesKusters By becoming more aware of our strategies and the ways deaf people utilise multimodal communication, we can use these tactics with confidence and purpose - no matter the setting, e.g. online via video, on-site in health care or workplace settings. #ASLI2024

The talk refers to the excellent work by @AnneliesKusters' on deaf people's multimodal communication by looking at how in-vision interpreters use pointing, gestures, images & other forms of multimodal communication to facilitate their work

Le réseau SLN compte actuellement 55 collègues, ils étaient à Turin ce week-end pour les conférence @efsli. Bon retour à chacun, n'hésitez pas à les retrouver l'année prochaine à Lisbonne 🇵🇹

Thanks @efsli for these 2 days of conferences, thanks to our fellow organizers 🇮🇹, see you in Lisbon next year (September 12-14, 2025) where the theme will be culture "translating culture" 🇵🇹

"Professionalism & quality" Dc. Res. Patricia Bandin Trasbach suggests a more philosophical approach : what aspects of interpretation engage in a dialogue between being and praxis? Inspiring ! #efsliconference2024

"Shaping wellbeing for 'Excellence' (...)" @omoyeledavey, Sarah Bown & Dc. Res. Mike Ballinger. 92% des interprètes indiquent que le métier est stressant. Comment dès lors trouver un équilibre entre vie professionnelle et vie personnelle? Inspirant, merci! #efsliconference2024

Dc. Res. Karolien Gebruers, Belgium, nous propose une réflexion sur nos propres biais and travers: comment nous percevons-nous et quel impact cela a sur notre profession? #efsliconference2024

Day 2 of the efsli conference 2024 and we are happy to attend a very insightful presentation about sustainability of the signed language interpreting profession by Dr Isabelle Heyerick, Ireland/Belgium. How can we ensure career viability for Sign Language Interpreters?

Insights from the INforMHAA project by Prof. J. Napier and Prof. A. Young from the UK on behalf of INforMHAA team. A goldmine for our sign language colleagues with many tools available online to better prepare for and collaborate in Mental Health interpreting.

Two insightful presentations on sustainability in the profession from Scotland (UK) and Poland. Specialist training at Master's level at Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh and the first national census of Polish signed language interpreters and translators.
