  • efsli schools – background information

The first efsli school was set up in 2006. Since then 4 efsli schools have been organised in different European countries. Two efsli schools are scheduled in 2010 and one in 2011.
The general aim of efsli schools is to bring together sign language interpreters from all over Europe interested in improving their professional skills while exchanging their own experiences. In particular, one of efsli’s main concern is to ensure access to learning and training opportunities to interpreters who live in those countries where there is no formal recognition or certification of skills and professional awareness.

  • Planning the training

Each NASLI can propose a topic that has a training priority for their country. However it is advisable to focus on a topic of some European relevance too in order to open the school to participants from different countries across Europe.
Please communicate your intention to host an efsli school well in advance. In this way efsli will have enough time to schedule its agenda.
