"Tools for Allyship and Effective Advocacy"

Presented by Isidore Niyongabo

Workshop Description:

Progressive and group-based learning on how to be an active ally as an interpreter before, during, and after assignments.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES:

Upon completion of this workshop participants will be able to:

Introspection on our common blocks and struggles when it come to deciding on what to do when faced with the need

Unlearn the automated habits from our training that easily make us bystanders in moments of injustice and inequity

Strengthening tools that we need as interpreters whenever we need to determine when and to activate our passion to advocate during our assignments in order to confidently navigate the interpreting profession and mainstream system as active allies/advocates

Discerning between advocacy by individual actions and advocacy by empowering our clients who are experiencing discrimination, oppression, or inequity

Examining the intersection of our Code of Ethics and good-will for effective allyship
