North Edinburgh Community Festival: Could you be a Casual Interpreter?

Do you have a tent or activity at the North Edinburgh Community Festival on Saturday? Do you speak an additional language to English?

This year, we’re continuing our testing of an initiative to to expand access and the sense of belonging at the festival.

If you don’t mind being a “casual interpreter” and helping our friends who may not speak much English navigate the festival (or even chatting with those who just want to speak their heart language! ❤ ), reach out to elizabeth.hampson@mcfb.org.uk and let me know what language(s) you speak!

We’ll make you a lovely lanyard and hopefully we can build up some community through shared languages.
