DETAILS:
You are invited to attend a special workshop on training community or ‘citizen translators’ to improve community capacities across Auckland before, during and after a crisis event. This event is being organised by the New Zealand Red Cross, in collaboration with Jay Marlowe and Minako O’Hagan from the University of Auckland, and Federico Federici from the University College London (UCL). The aim is to provide some of the basics of translation to better ensure that important disaster messaging reaches those in diverse communities who may have limited or no understanding of English.
