The British Centre for Literary Translation Summer School

The annual BCLT Summer School brings together writers and translators for an intensive, one-week, residential programme of hands-on translation and creative writing practice.

For most language-specific workshops, groups have the unique opportunity to work on a collaborative translation with both the author in residence and the workshop leader.

For translators working from any other languages there are two multilingual workshops, one for poetry and one for prose. These are designed for translators working from any language into English.

All workshops are designed to encourage collaboration and peer learning in a small group setting (maximum of 10-14 translators in a group).

During the week, the workshops are complemented by creative writing workshops for all participants and also plenary sessions, such as publishing panels and lectures.

This video was made during the 2019 Summer School and should give you an idea of how the week works. Find out more at www.bclt.org.uk
