ReTrans – Working with Interpreters in Refugee Transit Zones: Capacity building and awareness-raising for higher education contexts
ReTrans develops digital training materials to raise awareness for interpreting in humanitarian and transborder migration contexts. By equipping students and teachers of higher education interpreter institutions with easy-to-use didactic materials, the project contributes to the diversification of educational tools in interpreter education and addresses needs and challenges experienced by individuals, interpreters, and institutions in refugee transit zones.
