Agenda available
The 2024 TAG workshop will take place on 22 & 23 October 2024 in the Klaus K Hotel in Helsinki city center in Finland. We would like to thank Traficom for their invaluable help in organizing this event.
The workshop will focus on the topic of candidates with special language needs taking the driving theory test in CIECA member countries and organisations. This workshop aims to improve understanding of the experience of theory test candidates with special needs, and how they can be supported so that everyone has a fair and equal chance of passing.
A workshop on language interpretation requirements and challenges, we will compare the approaches taken to language interpretation in different countries and explore the challenges and potential solutions to legislative compliance. The TAG will explore:
- Different ways of catering for candidates with different first languages.
- Writing content so that it is more easily translated.
- Accommodating deaf and hard of hearing candidates.
- Accommodating other communication challenges
This workshop responds to the interest of TAG member organisations, faced with similar responsibilities and operational challenges on a regular basis, to reflect on this issue and to share experiences with the rest of CIECA members.
Once again, the TAG intends to make all CIECA members participate very actively in the workshop, so come ready to interact with other CIECA members on this issue.
Please note that registration for this event is already open (click button below).
