About the seminar

Good consecutive interpretation comes down to three things: grasping the idea, taking notes you can actually read, and speaking with calm authority.

A full-day online seminar on Saturday, 14 November (12:00–18:00 Kyiv time) returning to the core mechanics of consecutive interpretation.

Across three 90-minute lectures and a live Q&A, we break down each stage of the consecutive process — from isolating meaning and choosing a note-taking method that fits your mind to producing clear, confident output even when you hesitate.

Between lectures, the Zoom conference stays open during both 30-minute breaks for informal networking with colleagues. Working languages: Ukrainian and English.
