Tomorrow is International Translation Day! The United Nations declared the day to “pay tribute to the work of language professionals, which plays an important role in bringing nations together, facilitating dialogue, understanding and cooperation, contributing to development and strengthening world peace and security.” Here at Migrant Clinicians Network, we have our own Translation and Communications Coordinator on staff: Mónica Fossi! For the last year, Mónica has been instrumental in our push for language justice, translating from English to Spanish and Spanish to English, getting our Spanish-language blog rolling including implementing NotiViernes, our Five on Friday en español. She is accompanied by many staff members who step up to translate when needed and a team of great interpreters who assist us during webinars and other live events. Thank you, MCN translation team! On to Five on Friday: here are some picks for the week.
