- Babels
Babels is an international network of volunteer Interpreting interpreters and translators that was born out of the European Social Forum ESF process and whose main objective is to cover the interpreting needs of the various Social Forums . It is a horizontal, non hierarchical network, with no permanent structures of any kind. Image Babels headsets.jpg thumb right Headsets for instantaneous translation at London ESF Babels originated in the process of preparation for the European Social Forum First ESF 2002 ESF , a left wing conference of the anti globalization movement held in Florence . A small network of communication activists associated with ATTAC France proposed that the conference use only volunteers to interpret the various languages of the speakers for the audience. There was some debate about the quality of volunteer translators but the cost of professionals helped sway the argument. A last minute call went out for volunteers to which 600 people responded and which finally resulted in around 350 volunteer interpreters and translators for the Forum. The group had no official space to work from and little funds so had to squat a medieval tower. After the first ESF the organisers of the translation formed Babels groups in France and Italy and groups also sprang up in Germany , the United Kingdom UK , and Spain .These groups went on to participate in counter G8 conferences in Evian and Annemasse . For the European Social Forum Second ESF second ESF in Paris organisers gave Babels 200,000 funding, offices facilities and a longer preparation period. Over 1000 Babelistas Babels translation volunteers took part in the translation. The Babels organisation went on to provide translation for the ESF s global partner the World Social Forum WSF in Mumbai and the first Social Forum of the Americas in Ecuador and the European Social Forum Third ESF third ESF in London.
