We are very happy to announce that we’ve been confirmed for another webinar with Arche Noah about Seeds Patents, happening on December 19th 2024. Duration of the webinar will be 2 hours.
We’ll be providing Simultaneous Interpretation from and into FR, EN and DE.
The event is organized by Arche Noah, an organization based in Austria working on cultivated biodiversity and the topic to be discussed will be the Impact of Seeds Patents on Farmers. It is not a public webinar, but has the target group of people working in farmers’ movements and NGOs working on patents/GMOs/agriculture policy in Europe.
” Patents on plants and seeds have always been controversial, linked to the advent of biotechnology and its increased use in agriculture. In contrast to plant breeders’ rights, plant patents cannot be confined to a single variety as a rule of thumb, and thus cover multiple varieties.
….
The webinar will start by taking stock of existing patents in agriculture, examining what types of patents are granted (“patentability”) and the prerogatives that are attached to them (“scope of protection”). “
We are very happy to announce that we’ve bee confirmed to coordinate Simultanoues Interpretation for 2 online workshops happening on November 12th and 26th.
The workshops are organized by WEAll and will be about the Future Generations and Governance of the Commons Economic initiatives, respectively.
We’ll be having PTbr <> EN in the main room as well as in one breakout room.
It’s the first time we collaborate with WEAll after sometime we’ve been in contact with each other, so I can say that we’re very exited about it!
We announce that we have been confirmed for Interpreters Coordination for the “Online Workshop on EU Seed Marketing Reform”, organized by the Austria based Arche-Noa, the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights, with the support of EC-LLD, happening online the 17th and 18th of October 2024.
The aim of this activity is to support the involvement of small organizations and grassroots movements in the policy-making process regarding seed policy and legislation. This workshop aims at building their capacity and awareness on the ongoing process of seed marketing reform, which will have a great impact on biodiversity and seed exchange in Europe and beyond.
The workshop will last 4 hours both on the 17th and the 18th, and we will be providing Simultaneous Interpretation Coordination for 2 Booths, FR and DE, with an English Pivot.

With this post, I would like to tell you about our Interpreters Coordination Project.
When I started working in Simultaneous Interpretation in 2009, we were a small collective participating in international conferences and events with our DIY technology, providing support for Simultaneous Interpretation.
The years passed by and I had the possibility of meeting hundreds of Professional Interpreters (but also many DIY Interpreters – as we call them), so back in 2019 I started recollecting all those contacts in a database, which now counts more than 1000 Interpreters (at the moment, July 2024, it counts up to 1082, to be precise 🙂 ) living mostly in Europe but in other continents as well. Considering that I mostly work with local and international Social Movements, I can only say that I’m really proud of my database, as I probably manage one of the biggest Interpreters Databases in the world.
But it’s not only that I have a lot of contacts: this list allows me to reach Professional Interpreters that lives in the city where you’re planning your event, or pretty close-by, thus reducing the travel cost and possibly the accommodation cost for your team of Interpreters!
With this database, we are also able to coordinate Interpreters for online events, with the right language combination needed by the participants and with the right skills to provide always the best interpretation.
If you’re organizing an event that requires Simultaneous Interpretation, don’t hesitate to ask us for a quote for Interpreters Coordination: we will organize the team of Interpreters for your event ensuring that the messages will be delivered in other languages in the best professional way!
If you’re an Interpreter and would like to join my Interpreters Database, please write me an e-mail with your data, language combination, place of residence, professional level and description of your skills, and a CV, if you want. Please be very honest on the description of your skill and your professional level: we both gain from an honest review of your skills! There is space for different levels and skills in my database, both if you are a Professional Interpreter with 20 years of experience, a language student still studying or just come out of school, or a DIY Interpreter: different events requires different people!
And I will surely look forward to be working together 🙂
Send me an e-mail if you want some ANTS stickers, I will send you as much as you like, for free!

Venu·e·s de France, de Belgique, d’Allemagne, des Pays-Bas, du Royaume-Uni, d’Autriche, de Suisse, du Danemark, du Portugal, d’Italie ou encore du Canada et de l’Australie, les participant·e·s ont eu l’opportunité de s’inspirer mutuellement de leurs luttes locales et nationales, d’effectuer des ateliers théoriques et pratiques, et d’envisager comment porter plus loin les revendications de ces mouvements contestataires. Ce mélange culturel a été permis en grande partie grâce à la présence d’interprètes du collectif ANTS (AlterNative Technology Systems).
