The Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations is the national body representing the voluntary sector. SCVO seeks to advance the values and shared interests of the voluntary sector by fostering co-operation, promoting best practice and delivering sustainable services. The SCVO was responsible for organising this year’s CIVICUS World Assembly in Glasgow, from 21 to 25 June 2006.

Roevin is proud to have provided 17 interpreters for this year’s event. Over the course of seven days our interpreters provided simultaneous interpretation in Spanish, French and German for meetings, workshops and seminars for the conference and associated side events. Roevin also provided the technical equipment including booths for the interpreters, headsets for the delegates and tour guide systems for smaller meetings.

“For an international event of this significance, it is vital to show a multilingual profile, to enable people to express themselves in their own language. The CIVICUS World Assembly would not have been the success it was without the contribution of Roevin, who delivered a professional and flexible service.”

CIVICUS is an international alliance established in 1993 to nurture the foundation, growth and protection of citizen action throughout the world, especially in areas where participatory democracy and citizens’ freedom of association are threatened. The World Assembly is a forum for international civil society representatives to get together, exchange ideas, experiences and build strategies for a just world.
