The efsli AGMs, Conferences and Seminars
Each year efsli organises its AGM and an event (seminar; conference; workshops; consultation sessions; etc.) with national interpreter organisations. Traditionally, efsli invites the local or national sign language interpreter organisations to host these events. efsli has the goal of alternating the venue of the events between a country in the Northern and Southern part of Europe, year by year.
A conference is organised every year and a seminar every second year, however the last decision, whether the hosting country will organise a seminar, a conference or another type of event, will lay with the NASLI organising it.
Topical reports
Each year at the efsli Annual General Meeting (AGM) each full member, a national association of sign language interpreters, gives a presentation on the topic of the conference. All these topical reports are collected and published in the efsli Newsletter following the efsli conference. If you like to read more on European perspective on these topics, you can become an efsli member and receive the efsli Newsletter. Topics that we have reported on, are for example third language interpreting, setting quality standards, and team interpreting.
