Climate Change, Interpretation, and Hope: How to talk about the elephant in the room
Best practices, strategies, and tactics to help you feel more comfortable and confident talking about climate change.
In recent years Interpreters' work has become more challenging, as we increasingly come to understand that climate change poses a real threat to nature and everything around us. In this workshop, you will hear some good news on this front from an experienced educator and interpreter - Gareth Thomson. Gareth will share some best practices in climate education and interpretation and suggest ways in which you can talk about this with your clients in a positive and constructive way. You'll have a chance to discuss climate change issues in small group sessions with your colleagues, and you'll leave with some strategies and tactics you can use in your work to give your clients the best gift possible - a sense of optimism and hope for the future.
