Modules on interpretation

Modules on interpretation support professionals working in asylum and reception contexts in ensuring accurate, impartial, and effective communication with applicants for international protection. Effective interpretation is essential for fair and efficient

implementation of the CEAS and for safeguarding fundamental rights.

This thematic includes modules covering both the role of interpreters and the practical use of interpretation in asylum and reception contexts, supporting professionals in managing interpreted interactions in a professional and consistent manner.

 

Who this training is for

These modules are intended for:
  • asylum and reception officials working with interpreters
  • interpreters, or personnel wishing to work as interpreters, working in asylum and reception contexts
  • professionals involved in interviews and communication with applicants
  • practitioners seeking to strengthen communication in multilingual and intercultural contexts

 

What these modules cover

Through modules on interpretation, participants develop knowledge and skills related to:
  • the role and responsibilities of interpreters in asylum and reception contexts
  • principles of effective communication in interpreted interactions
  • ethical and professional standards, including confidentiality and impartiality
  • practical approaches to working effectively with interpreters
  • addressing challenges in interpreted communication
These competencies are essential to ensure that applicants are able to fully present their case and be properly understood within asylum procedures.
