Our Campaign
With the increase of English-only meetings, there is a profound need to connect with others, to speak our minds and be understood truthfully. It is through interpreting that this connection becomes possible, bridging the gap between individuals and communities, businesses and institutions, and allowing us to share our insights in all their subtle nuances.
Speak Your Truth Campaign.
The International Association of Conference Interpreters (AIIC) has launched a global campaign titled “Speak Your Truth: Empowering Through Interpreting.” This campaign is the culmination of in-depth interviews with people of influence, unveiling the remarkable value of multilingualism and interpreting services of communities, orgnanizations, businesses and sociaties at large.
Why AIIC Launched The Campaign.
AIIC, as a leading force in the world of professional interpreting, is dedicated to shining a light on the essential role of interpreting and its impact on a meaningful connection with the world around us. Through this campaign, we aim to raise awareness for multilingualism as a catalyst for personal, corporate and institutional growth.

Multilingualism
Understanding: Building Diplomatic Bridges
Interpreting is essential for democracy to thrive. It ensures that individuals can engage fully in political processes, debates, and public discussions, regardless of the language they speak. By breaking down language barriers, interpreting enables citizens to exercise their right to participate, fostering informed decision-making, and strengthening democratic values. Democracy requires the generation of national public opinion, through territorially bounded processes of public communication. It should allow public information, participation and debate on national policies and enable citizens to influence and hold accountable political decision makers, turning public opinion into political power. Speaking your mother tongue does make a difference.

Social Inclusion and Accessibility: Building Bridges of Understanding
Interpreting is a powerful tool for social inclusion, offering a voice to those who may otherwise remain unheard. By enabling individuals to speak their truth in their own language, interpreters empower marginalized communities, amplify their stories, and promote inclusivity. It fosters an environment where diverse perspectives are valued, creating a more just and equitable society that embraces the full tapestry of human experience. Interpreters promote language access to ensure that all individuals have equal access to services and opportunities, all while reducing barriers and promoting inclusivity. This can be especially important in situations where individuals rely on services for essential needs, such as healthcare, education, or legal assistance. Interpreting plays a critical role in facilitating communication and understanding across different languages and cultures, which is essential for achieving Sustainable Development Goals 4, 5 and 16.
