WISE Unlockdown Edition 2020
From 22 - 26 June, I participated in the WISE Unlockdown Edition 2020. WISE is a workshop for professional interpreters who come together to work on their professional skills. This year's workshop was entirely held online, due to the global Lock-Down Situation. This gave us interpreters the opportunity to not only enhance our interpreter skills, but to also gain important experiences in working remotely. Colleagues from all over Europe created a hardworking, yet relaxed online atmosphere. I had the most amazing time meeting new colleagues, improving my language skills, sharing ideas about our profession and what it will look like in the future, and practicing remote interpreting.
Thank you to José Sentamans and Joe Burbidge for the excellent organisation and the great week!
