Meld je aan voor de ESLT Summer School 2022

Samen met het British Centre for Literary Translation, de San Pellegrino Foundation en het PETRA-E Netwerk organiseert het ELV jaarlijks de ESLT Summer School. Tijdens deze Europese zomercursus staat het (verder) opleiden van de literair vertaler tot vertaaldocent centraal. De cursus duurt vier dagen en bestaat uit lezingen, panelgesprekken en workshops over didactiek en actuele ontwikkelingen in het veld. Je leert vertaaldocenten uit heel Europa kennen.

De ESLT Summer School 2022 is opnieuw een online editie en zal plaatsvinden van 6 t/m 9 september. Deze editie staat in het teken van het samenwerken met andere spelers in het vertaalveld. De kosten voor deelname bedragen 120 euro. Dankzij een subsidie van het ELV is dat voor vertalers in of uit het Nederlands 75 euro. Je kunt je aanmelden tot 20 juni 2022. Hieronder vind je alle informatie.

De tekst gaat verder in het Engels.

Participants’ Feedback from Previous Years

"It was a lively, inspiring, event-packed summer school with a fantastic and diverse group of people and therefore a very stimulating and enjoyable experience."

"The lectures were fascinating. The group discussions helped break the ice and work together on practical ideas, which I enjoyed a lot."

"I’ve benefited a lot from the experiences of my colleagues as well as the lecturers and mentors, and I’ve also found answers and solutions to many of the issues I had with teaching literary translation."
