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.

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.

What is quality? Are we done once certified? Today’s presentations made it clear: CPD boosts quality, professionalism, and services. Let’s go for it! ✨ #efsliconference2024 #torino #empower #SLI #EUfunded

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?

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

"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

"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

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" 🇵🇹
