About PACI

The Project PACI – Professional and Accessible Community Interpreting, a Gateway to Migrant’s Integration’ focuses on providing training in public service interpreting and translation (henceforward: PSIT). PSIT encompasses the provision of translation and/or interpreting in public service provision contexts in different sectors (e.g. education, health care, law or public administration).

This partnership project – involving a collaboration between the Comenius University in Bratislava (Slovakia), Palacký University Olomouc (the Czech Republic), the University of Wrocław (Poland) and Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Belgium) – focuses on the development and implementation of a didactic model for PSIT – based on a combination of e-learning modules followed by onsite training for the language combinations Dutch-Czech, Dutch-Polish and Dutch-Slovak – in the three Central European Countries involved in the project.
