It is important to note that there is no interpretation provided during patrol or team meetings so delegations must ensure their delegates and observers are prepared and have some strategies for managing in these sessions and that the patrols themselves identify ways to support team members who may require extra help.
Being part of an international team at the Youth Forum and international patrol at the Conference is an amazing experience. All teams will be challenged to decide the best way to communicate with each other and deciding how to support those in the team who may not speak English fluently will be one of your first tasks as a team, don't be afraid to challenge yourself and always remember to give a hand to your team or patrol members if there are communication challenges. And of course, don’t forget that your responsibilities towards Safe from Harm also apply during your time in the Patrol.
