SUMMARY:AMSSA Webinar: Connecting Languages & Cultures through Interpretation
DESCRIPTION:Professionals working with newcomers rely on verbal and nonverbal communication as the primary tool for forming relationships with newcomers as well as obtaining information from them. However\, language and cultural barriers can lead to miscommunication\, which can further lead to frustration and act as an additional barrier to accessing needed and appropriate services. Using a professional interpreter can be essential to bridging the divide between communication barriers and interacting effectively with newcomers. \nNot every interaction involving an interpreter is the same. The role of the individual utilizing the interpreter can vary depending on the setting (in-person\, telephone\, and group)\, language (spoken or signed language) and context of the interpretation. \nThis webinar will include the following: \n\nIssues regarding confidentiality and privacy when using an interpreter\nUsing interpreters when working with clients who have experienced trauma\nUsing Interpreters in a medical setting\nThe logistics of utilizing a spoken or signed language interpreter\nHow factors such as culture and gender can influence interpretation and communication\nWorking with interpreters in various settings\n\nThe aim of this webinar is to provide individuals working with newcomers an introductory framework which they can use to further explore interpretation\, as well as learn how interpretation can help to overcome communication barriers\, and how to work effectively with interpreters. \nWhen: July 12\, 2016 from 10:00 am – 11:30 am (PDT)\nLocation: Online\nRegister by July 11\, 2016 \n  \nClick Here to Register \n  \nPresenters include: \n\nAnnette Floyd\, RN(c)\, MPH\, Clinical Coordinator\, Bridge Clinic\nBryan Corry\, Registered ASL-English Interpreter and Accredited Medical Interpreter\nMariana Martinez Vieyra\, Med\, RCC\, Provincial Refugee Mental Health Coordinator\, Vancouver Association of Survivors of Torture (VAST)\nMichael Radano\, Executive Director\,  Society of Translators and Interpreters of BC (STIBC)\nYolanda Salazar Hobrough\, Head of School\, Vancouver School of Interpreting and Translation\nYoung Joe\, Certified Medical Interpreter and Executive Director of Bilinguals International

SUMMARY:AMSSA E-Symosium: Interfaith Bridging: Building Connections. Building Community.
DESCRIPTION:A truly welcoming society is one where everyone feels that they can bring their “whole self” to the community and their workplace and where differences are respected and valued. In Canada\, religious diversity is growing with the number of people having a non-Christian religion expected to double to 14% of the population by 2031; about half of the non-Christian population would be Muslim. \nRespectfully accommodating religious practices such as prayer\, dietary needs and clothing requirements as well as religious holy days is also a display of interculturally competent leadership within a community. What does respect look or feel like in a society of people with various faith\, religious & spiritual beliefs\, values & observances? How can we start a respectful conversation about religious or spiritual beliefs? \nThis E-Symposium will explore innovative approaches to interfaith bridging focusing on collaboration and communication between the settlement service provider agencies\, faith organizations\, academia and newcomers themselves \nPanelists: \nPresentations will feature speakers from: \n\nSimon Fraser University’s Centre for Dialogue\nThe BC Muslim Association (BCMA)\nRichmond Multicultural Community Services (RMCS)\n\nEvent Details: \nDate: June 23\, 2016\nTime: 10:00 am – 12:00 pm (PDT)\nLocation: Online \nRegister to the E-Symposium by clicking here.
