The EU-WEBPSI portal goes live! Webinar dates ⬇

We are excited to announce that the EU-WEBPSI portal is live! This major project deliverable has been achieved and is now being tested by the project partners to make sure it fits the project objectives.

It features:

  • A learning environment, where you can request access to train-the-trainer material for PSI training.
  • A booking tool, to match public services with interpreting providers
  • A video-tool, to easily connect to the interpreter without downloading any extra software

Do you want to know more? Join one of the planned webinars and get to know the EU-WEBPSI portal!

During this webinar you will discover:

  • What the EU-WEBPSI project is
  • Why it was launched and what it aims for in terms of public service interpreting provision.
  • What it has achieved:
    • The EU-WEBPSI model of PSI minimal standards
    • 8 Train-the-trainer modules for PSI training
    • The EU-WEBPSI portal (including short demo)

The EU-WEBPSI portal is currently being tested by the project partners, and therefore access is restricted: don’t miss this chance of discovering the partners-only booking tool and giving us your feedback before the project completion!

We look forward to sharing this project result with you!

InDialog 4 and 2nd Consortium meeting

After a year of virtual meetings, the majority of the consortium partners got to see each other again live at the University of Ghent for the fourth edition of the InDialog Conference. On 19 September, the academic partners presented the ongoing research in the panel ‘Video-mediated PSI for and by migrants and refugees’, which was concluded with an interesting discussion together with our partners from the reception agencies and the PSI providers.

On 20 September, the second consortium meeting took place, taking advantage of the opportunity of having different colleagues present in the city of Ghent. In between the General Assembly and the Executive Committee, the partners visited the reception facility of Fedasil in the Ghent docks. Our Fedasil partner outlined how it operates in Belgium and a social worker commented on her collaboration with interpreters deployed in conversations with residents. The visit concluded with a presentation by an interpreter on site, talking about his experience and assignments at the different centres across Belgium, and with a tour of the Ghent reception centre.

The partners headed back home after a fruitful three days full of inspiring talks, encounters and visits, feeling entirely reinvigorated to take the next steps in the project.

Project goals and first results were introduced to a very interested audience of experts in PSI training and research. It was a very enriching opportunity to meet other researchers aiming to make an impact on refugees and migrants’ access to basic rights.
