Moving Interpretation Forward Webinar Series

Over the last year+, many interpreters have had to change the way they practice interpretation. Even now a year later, many aren’t quite sure how to best engage with the public and asking themselves questions that range from what platform(s) might be best to how to meet accessibility standards and what to carry forth into our post COVID-19 world. In March-April, 2021 NAI hosted a six week training on many of these topics. The live webinars were recorded and are available for single purchase below. Watch one, three or all!

Note: This webinar was presented in March 2020 and although the basics still apply, the trends discussed at the close of the webinar may no longer be relevant for 2021. Since that time, there's been an increase in social & environmental justice content across platforms, many providers and sites switched to 100% virtual programs, Instagram Reels have rolled out, we've gained more data and experience on TikTok, and new platforms like Clubhouse have launched.
