Groups will work on collaborative translations of texts across different genres, guided by experienced translators. This is a great opportunity to take your translating to the next level, hone your creative writing skills and meet like-minded people.PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE BOOKING:All workshops translate into English, therefore it is essential that all participants must have proficiency in the source language (reading proficiency not just spoken) and have a high proficiency in English.
