Interpreters

A strong team of local African language volunteers is presently being recruited and will be trained in Dakar. We will also need a number of experienced and professional interpreters from outside Senegal for other languages. The list of required languages will be compiled from the list of speakers and the requests of the participant delegations, but will mainly be French, English, Portuguese, Spanish and Arabic.

Due to budgetary constraints, we can only select volunteers from Africa and Europe. Tickets from the Americas or Asia are unfortunately too expensive. In accordance with Babels rules, we will ensure there is a balance of experienced and first-time interpreters in the booths. The selection process will also be transparent and inclusive. We will document every step of the selection process and report on it publicly, via the Babels forum and mailing list.

Availability: we will be organizing training sessions for community interpreters prior to the Forum. If you can come earlier to help with this training, with the additional forums or general logistic tasks please tell us.

The WSF-OC will pay for your ticket and accommodation. There will be a per diem of 15000 cfa/day (22?) to cover your food and transport (which will cost less than that). Accommodation will probably be in shared flats. More information on logistics will be provided later on.

If you are interested in participating, please go to the following URL: <http://goo.gl/KV1me>http://goo.gl/KV1me <http://goo.gl/KV1me> and fill out the form. We will contact you shortly to confirm your registration. If you are selected, we will inform you as early as possible.

Volunteers

Apart from Senegal, people from neighboring countries (Gambia, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Mali, Mauritania), but groups from Europe, Americas, Asia etc are also expected.
