About
I translate the words, and what sits underneath them
Intercultural mediator across Italian, Arabic, French and English. I work with families, patients, students, practitioners and companies.
Misunderstanding is almost never a question of vocabulary
I am Leila Ben Hassen, born in Tunisia and living in the province of Vicenza. I work in intercultural mediation: I stand between two people who need to understand each other and share neither the language nor the assumptions.
What gets lost in a conversation is rarely a word. It is what each side takes for granted: how you ask for help, how much you tell a stranger, what a silence means. My job is to make that assumption visible to both, without taking the place of either.
Every assignment is covered by professional confidentiality. I do not publish cases, names or the stories of the people I accompany.
