AMSSA E-Symosium: Interfaith Bridging: Building Connections. Building Community.
2016-06-23 10:00 - 12:00 | Online
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.
Respectfully 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?
This 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
Panelists:
Presentations will feature speakers from:

Simon Fraser University’s Centre for Dialogue
The BC Muslim Association (BCMA)
Richmond Multicultural Community Services (RMCS)

Event Details:
Date: June 23, 2016

AMSSA Webinar: Connecting Languages & Cultures through Interpretation
2016-07-12 10:00 - 23:30 | Online
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.
Not 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.
This webinar will include the following:

Issues regarding confidentiality and privacy when using an interpreter
Using interpreters when working with clients who have experienced trauma
Using Interpreters in a medical setting
The logistics of utilizing a spoken or signed language interpreter
How factors such as culture and gender can influence interpretation and communication
Working with interpreters in various settings

The 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.
When: July 12, 2016 from 10:00 am – 11:30 am (PDT)
