Polaron Language Services have been involved in many projects over the years, translating important information for Australia’s diverse communities, as part of educational campaigns. This included the ECCV Within My Walls project, and translating, and recording the dubbing track, for our Future Planning video series.
Polaron started a partnership with TickerNEWS, to talk about languages and multicultural communication. Polaron have a weekly 15 minute panel discussion ‘Ticker Talks’ featured on the TickerNEWS website and apps. The segment is also featured on Polaron’s social media channels and website.
Polaron invited Seniors Rights Victoria to participate as guest speakers to discuss how we support multicultural communities.
Seniors Rights Victoria's Advocacy Team Leader, Lyn Dundon and Community Lawyer, Andelka Obradovic, joined the October #TickerTalks episode, to talk about how multicultural seniors are supported.
Host Mike Loder talked with Andelka and Lyn to explain a bit about SRV and the work we do.
