About the show

This unique (sometimes funny, sometimes serious) podcast focuses on supporting signed language interpreters in the European countries by creating a place with advice, tips, ideas, feelings and people to come together. Interpreter's Workshop with Tim Curry deals with the fact that many countries do not have education for sign language interpreters. Here we talk to sign language interpreters, teachers, and researchers, to look at the real issues and share ideas for improvement from many countries. Signed language interpreters usually work alone or in small teams. This can create a feeling of uncertainty about our work, our skills and our roles. Here is the place to connect and find certainty.
