In the first episode of Interpreters Through Time, Elke Schaumberger reflects on what truly matters in interpreter education and professional standards. She emphasises that a university degree is only the starting point of professional responsibility. Strong programmes must be anchored at full university level, integrate Deaf expertise and Deaf Studies, and ensure early, meaningful engagement with the Deaf community. She also highlights the importance of recognising and properly valuing practising interpreters who teach, as well as the added strength of deaf and hearing co-interpreting teams.
The video outlines the key messages and explores how quality is built through rigorous training, dual perspectives, and lifelong professional commitment.
