International Translation Day 2011
Image by englishpen
This year’s International Translation Day was held at the Free Word Centre on 30 September. The symposium gave Literary professionals a chance to gather and celebrate successful new initiatives; Sarah Ardizzone updated us on ‘Translation Nation’, a scheme that takes translators into schools across London to inspire the next generation of translators. Ros Schwartz described a successful new approach to mentoring new translators and Rachel Van Riel excited the audience with a range of schemes introduced by ‘Opening the Book’, designed to connect readers with literature from around the world. At English PEN we outlined the new translation fund we will be launching with support from Arts Council England next April and in a series of afternoon workshops, ITD delegates had their say! We closed the day with a remarkable presentation by conductor and broadcaster Charles Hazlewood. Ahdaf Soueif then joined us in the evening and gave a fascinating talk on her role as a writer, journalist & translator during the Arab spring, referring to her forthcoming book Cairo: My City, Our Revolution.
