Join us for a dynamic two-part workshop designed to deepen collaboration between Deaf and hearing interpreters. Friday evening will focus on foundational concepts through lectures and guided discussion, while Saturday offers hands-on practice in mock scenarios that bring those strategies to life.

This workshop is open to certified hearing interpreters and Deaf interpreters who are either certified or non-certified with some formal training. Our goal is to support stronger local collaboration, increase comfort and confidence in team interpreting, and create a space where interpreters can grow, connect, and learn from one another in an authentic and supportive environment.

At the conclusion of this course, students will be able to:

• Articulate the benefits of effective Deaf/hearing interpreter team collaboration in various interpreting contexts.
• Analyze key aspects of team dynamics, including trust building, communication, and shared decision making.
• Distinguish between intermediary interpretations and target interpretations, recognizing key similarities and differences.
• Apply a range of strategies and approaches when interpreting collaboratively in mock scenarios.
