style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I find your ideas
super, especially the visual artists and the colours for the languages on the
name-badge. Make sure those colours are also on a poster in the plenary and in
each workshop area so everybody knows all the time what they
mean.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN lang=EN-GB
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">From my recent
bilingual experience with people living with HIV, I can tell you that they
greatly appreciated translation by microphone. It was very important for them
to be seen and understood by everybody in the room with what they had to say.
Announcing topics to a public in this case also meant consciously choosing and
wanting to have witnesses. This was an important act in itself. So we did need
more time for the announcements (1 hour instead of the pre-planned 20
minutes), but this time-span could just about be held by the public (and I had
planned for spare times here and there, which proved to be very relaxing for
all of us).<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN lang=EN-GB

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN lang=EN-GB
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">What if everything
<B><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">in the plenary</SPAN></B> was translated to
English out loud, to be heard without head-set, and in parallel to the other
languages into head-sets, only those wearing head-sets who don’t understand
English? (If the flipcharts with the themes could be in all 5 languages, this
would be super!)<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN lang=EN-GB
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN lang=EN-GB
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">In our case,
self-organization <B><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">in workshops</SPAN></B>
didn’t work so well. People were shy to ask others to help them translate. It
was so new to them to be in such an event that they needed a lot of time to
become a “public being” (many people living with HIV seemed to be incredibly
isolated up to that moment – and they realized it and made “self-isolation” a
topic…). So perhaps wandering translators would be a good idea in your case.

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN lang=EN-GB
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">We were asked to
translate the <B><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">workshop announcements on
paper</SPAN></B> later on and decided not to do so, telling people to ask
somebody to translate for them. Again, this didn’t work so well for some. But
since in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Switzerland</st1:place></st1:country-region> everybody who is
French-speaking must learn German in school for at least 3 – 5 years, and vice
versa, we were hoping this could be an incentive for future activities (the
life of some people living with HIV up to that moment has been very depleted
of sense. Having a second look at learning the other big language of one’s
country might be a worthwile project…) and would encourage
self-responsibility. (Some of the people living with HIV have become totally
dependent from specialists and have stopped thinking for themselves. This
diagnosis is really a hammer. With the side-effects of some of the medications
they are taking, in the end you actually are unable to discern without a
specialist’s help whether a hurting foot is a side-effect or just a normal
hurting foot!)<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
