Conference on translation and interpretation: Cultural and linguistic diversity - a challenge for democracy

28 November 2014 - Conservatoire national des arts et métiers (CNAM): 292 rue Saint-Martin, 75003 Paris, France
Translators and interpreters are essential, although very often unknown or unrecognised professionals. They are nevertheless as central to public life as they are to the economy.
This conference is organised in the framework of the European Day of Languages, as part of the European Commission's actions to promote and raise the profile of language professionals. It aims to shed some light on the challenges of this sector, the need for qualified linguists and the utmost importance of appropriate, high-level training.
Organised by the European Commission's DG Translation Paris Field Office , the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs , the French Ministry of Culture and Communication , ESIT (École supérieure d'interprètes et de traducteurs) and ISIT (Institut de management et de communication interculturels).
