Cultural Intelligence – Workshop Part II

Cultural Intelligence Workshop Part II – Presented by: Della Goswell

How deaf and hearing people have different expectations about how to talk to each other: face to face and via telephone.

She will demonstrate how interpreting is weird for many
hearing people.

When: Friday 30th July

Time: 6pm to 9pm

Where: Jubilee Hall, Parramatta Town Hall, 182 Church Street Mall, Parramatta, NSW, 2150, Australia
