Project duration: 2016-2020 (phase 1), 2020-2024 (phase 2)

Topic: German language use in Austria

Funding: FWF

Information: Forschungsplattform

Project duration:1.5.2022-30.4.2024

Topic: The aim of this project is to raise awareness for the issue of interpreting in a humanitarian and transborder migration context among students and teachers of higher education interpreter training facilities and contribute to the diversification of didactic materials by developing a range of educational tools. These tools will be made available in a sustainable digital format; they will complement existing resources and can be disseminated and utilised in a higher education context but may also be used in other training environments. By incorporating a game-based element to the development of the training materials the project also will provide an innovative asset to any training format. By giving stakeholders in the field (refugees, lay interpreters with a migration background, institutional representatives) a voice and by including and integrating their individual perspectives the project seeks to promote access and inclusion and aims to provide a forum for exchange between higher education interpreters facilities and actors in the field. All materials will also be available to these secondary target groups. Funding:
