This interactive lab is designed to empower entry-level and novice BIPOC interpreters by providing hands-on training and real-world scenarios. Participants will engage in role-playing exercises, receive feedback from experienced interpreters, and explore cultural nuances that influence interpretation. This supportive environment fosters confidence and skill development, helping participants become familiar with how to bridge language barriers and connections with BIPOC Interpreters and communities.

Educational Objectives:
1. Understanding of Interpreting Modes: Participants will be able to define and differentiate at least four interpreting modes that impact BIPOC Interpreters (e.g., simultaneous, consecutive, sight translation, and community interpreting) and describe contexts in which each is most effectively applied.
