==================================================
Apr 18-20: Allies Retreat
SAVE THE DATE!
An Allies Retreat is coming to the Portland, Oregon area on April 18-20,
2008
What is an Allies Retreat?
More than anything, an Allies retreat is a chance for Deaf people, CODAs
and Interpreters to understand each other in a new way. We begin our
discussions acknowledging that we experience conflicts. We acknowledge
that the field of interpreting is, above all, about working with people
who are Deaf. We are committed to creating a space to listen and learn
from what Deaf people want to tell us. And we are committed to
recognizing that we must examine how we have responded to the needs of
our diverse colleagues and consumers.
We believe that talking to each other can make a difference. We're
committed to having challenging conversation in a supportive
environment. We believe that by honoring each of our cultures, we can
talk to each other more effectively. We believe that our difficulties
often come from assumptions about what we know (and don't know). By
practicing dialogue with each other, with the support of our peers at
the retreat, we can transform the sometimes challenging experience of
Deaf/CODA/hearing relationships.
Who Should Come?
-Deaf People (CDIs, and community members), CODAs and EXPERIENCED
Interpreters.
-no novices or ITP Students.
