The Interpreter Exchange
Join us for Educo's October Interpreter Exchange, a community gathering for ASL interpreters in Miller's Alley, Pasadena. Centered on the theme "Everybody wants something from the interpreter", this interactive experience invites interpreters to explore today's interpreting landscape through meaningful conversations, guided reflection, and shared perspectives in a welcoming setting. The Interpreter Exchange
What to Expect
October’s Interpreter Exchange will explore the different expectations surrounding interpreters and interpreting assignments. Rather than searching for one “correct” response, we will look at situations from multiple perspectives and consider questions such as:What to Expect
- Who is involved in the interaction?
- What might each person expect from the interpreter?
- Why might those expectations make sense from their perspective?
- Where do expectations align?
- Where do they conflict?
- What happens to relationships and the interpreting environment when expectations collide?
Exchange Objectives
By the end of the Exchange, participants will be able to:Exchange Objectives
- Identify at least three stakeholders who may have differing expectations of an interpreter in a professional interaction.
- Compare the expectations and perspectives of multiple stakeholders in an interpreting scenario.
- Describe at least one way competing expectations can affect professional relationships or the interpreting environment.
What to Expect
This month, we’re taking the Interpreter Exchange to Miller’s Alley in Pasadena.Grab something to eat or drink, settle in, and connect with other interpreters in a casual setting while we explore this month’s conversation together.This is not a lecture. The Exchange is a facilitated professional conversation built around connection, discussion, and learning from one another.Throughout the evening, we’ll introduce short scenarios and conversation prompts, then give you plenty of room to talk in pairs, small groups, and as a larger community.Participants earning CEUs will complete a few brief reflection checkpoints along the way, but your phone won’t be the focus of the evening. The conversation is the activity.What to Expect
