🌍The 5th International Sign Language Teachers Conference – LESICO #5

🎥 Interpreter & Accessibility Planning Meeting

Here are some screenshots from our productive Zoom meeting held on 2 September 2026, as part of the planning and preparation for LESICO #5 – The 5th International Sign Language Teachers Conference.

The purpose of the meeting was to ensure that Portuguese Sign Language (LGP) ↔ International Sign (IS) and International Sign (IS) ↔ English interpretation will be available across the conference platforms for guest speakers, presenters and attendees.

This will help ensure that LESICO #5 runs smoothly and is fully accessible to everyone. 🌍

👥 Participants

• Sandra Duguid – ENSLT President
• Isabel Morais – AFOMOS President & Main Organiser of the LESICO #5 Team
• Prof. Dr. Filipe Venade – Presentations & Programme Schedule Coordinator, LESICO Team

It was lovely to meet everyone and introduce ourselves, with Portuguese Sign Language and International Sign interpreters included in the meeting.

We were also delighted to meet Krishna Madaparthi, an ASL/IS/English interpreter trainee from Canada. 🇨🇦

It was a wonderful and enthusiastic team, and it was great to see everyone working together to help make LESICO #5 accessible, inclusive and successful. 🌍💙

We had a productive and insightful discussion during ENSLT Forum Hub #3, focusing on the future of ENSLT's membership categories.

A sincere thank you to all European Network of Sign Language Teachers (ENSLT) members and Board members who joined the discussion and shared their ideas. Together, we explored how ENSLT can continue to grow and better support the sign language teaching community, including potential membership opportunities for national sign language associations, educational institutions, companies, and other organisations.

The ENSLT Board will now review the feedback, consider possible revisions, and prepare proposals for the ENSLT Triennial General Assembly, which will take place in Portugal in November 2026.

An online questionnaire will be launched soon to gather further views from former members, current members, and the wider sign language teaching community. Your feedback will play an important role in helping shape the future direction of ENSLT.

Thank you once again to everyone who gave their time and valuable contributions this evening. We look forward to continuing these important conversations at ENSLT Forum Hub #4.
