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

European Commission logo28 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).

Competences for Democracy and Intercultural Dialogue

Couverture en anglaisIn preparation for the International Conference on Higher Education for Sustainable Development, Nagoya 9 November 2014, and the UNESCO World Conference on ESD, Nagoya, Japan, 10-12 November 2014, IAU prepared a special issue of IAU Horizons on The role of higher education in the post 2015 Development Agenda. Download Horizons Vol. 20 N° 3, November 2014.
Competences for Democracy and Intercultural Dialogue - by Sjur Bergan
For the Council of Europe, education has several purposes: preparation for the labor market – what we mostly hear about in public debate – but equally preparation for democratic citizenship, personal development, and the development of a broad, advanced knowledge base. For democracy to be a key mission of education, we need to be able to indicate the kind of competence students should develop at different levels of formal education. This is the starting point for a new Council of Europe project. The initiative came from Andorra during its Chairmanship of the Committee of Ministers and since December 2013 the project has been developed by an international and interdisciplinary expert group. The IAU participates through its Director, Membership and Programme Development, Hilligje van’t Land. More in Horizons Vol. 20 N° 3, November 2014.

'As an American, it took me four months to catch on to British sarcasm'

http://static.guim.co.uk/static/c55907932af8ee96c21b7d89a9ebeedb4602fbbf/common/images/logos/the-guardian/news.gifBy . One main difference is sarcasm, which I found funny at first because I wouldn’t catch on. I’d have to ask “are you being sarcastic, or not?” and it took about four months before I was able to be cheeky in my comebacks. More...
