A Bilingual Conference / Una conferencia bilingüe
Based on Latina victim advocate recommendations and the great lack of training on these issues in Spanish, the 2011 Nuestras Voces Conference will offer a complete Spanish language track for bilingual victim advocates wanting to develop their Spanish-language outreach and professional training skills.
We strongly encourage of both native and fluent Spanish-speaking trainers and direct service victim advocates who have implemented effective programs in Spanish, to submit workshop proposals.
Las propuestas para talleres en español
se deberían preparar en español.
In an effort to provide the best quality workshops, proposals for Spanish language workshops must be submitted in Spanish.
Some Recommended Workshop Topics
Comments from Past Nuestras Voces Conference Attendees: |
"It is so amazing to see Latinas, women who
look like me at the podium and not feel like
I'm being talked at." (2010)
"This has been the only meaningful
multilingual and multicultural conference I
have ever attended. This conference was put
together with heart and soul; it really
showed." (2010)
"Most conferences have 1-2 workshops on
Latino issues. It is great to attend a diverse
Latina conference which covers gender.
Good job!" (2008)
"Wonderful conference – in all the
conferences I have attended in my 9 years in
victim services this one made me feel
positive, hopeful, supported – to believe 'yes
we can.' Thank you!" (2005)
