summer school students

More than 60 students registered for this year’s BCLT Summer School, taking part in an intensive week of literary translation workshops, round tables, seminars and readings.   

Participants worked in small groups under the guidance of a workshop leader and a writer-in-residence. A Japanese-English workshop was offered for the first time, thanks to the generous sponsorship of the Nippon Foundation. The Summer School also offered the opportunity to translate into English from French, German, or Spanish and from English into Italian..

Comments from this year’s participants

‘Very useful for my further education and experience’

‘great enthusiasm and energy from the organisers and the professionals involved – very encouraging’

 ‘Very well organised.  The commitment to and enthusiasm for literary translation is contagious!’
