Voluntary work as Senior Expert
The German Senior Expert Service gGmbH is recruiting skilled specialists with at least 8 years’ experience for short-term international assignments.
I applied for a placement in Kazakhstan and was invited to collaborate with the teaching staff at Kyzylorda State University. My role involved providing training and coaching in interpreting and translation.
This experience gave me a great blend of professional and personal insights. Preparing for the assignment prompted me to re-visit my translation and interpreting textbooks and develop fresh perspectives on my practice. And this proved very useful in my conversations with colleagues, particularly when comparing our approaches to generative AI – a topic I find especially fascinating.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this opportunity possible!
