On the 24th of May 2019 the Elbschule in Hamburg (school for children with special educational needs in hearing and communication) hosted a cultural day (Elbschulkulturtag 2019). During this day a group of our B.A. students in the interpreting degree, currently participating in Mrs Andrea Schaffers’ seminar „ Expertise and Terminology in the field of Pedagogy“ was very glad to get the opportunity to interpret some of the pupils’ projects and presentations at the school under professional supervison. All necessary preparations were organized by the students themselves and, in cooperation with all people involved, it turned out to be a very successful event. This hands-on seminar was an irreplaceable experience for the students. They gained a high knowledge profit and also a lot of fun. It would be great if our future students in the interpreting degree could also benefit from this sort of seminars.
We’d like to thank the Elbschule team for the good cooperation, especially Mrs M.Vaupel for her valuable support.
