Event 170 Saturday 13 March 10.30amDeira International School, Room CThis workshop is designed for those still at school or university who are interested to know more about translation and who may already be practising it as part of their studies and to offer people who are interested in translation or who are thinking of becoming translators an opportunity to see what it is like. The workshop will be practical and interactive and will involve participants translating a number of excerpts from Arabic literary texts into English. There will also be a chance to look at some aspects of translation theory as well as considering some of the broader issues around translation such as publishing and the status of Arabic novels in translation.

Participants in the workshop should have a high level of both languages and should be able to read Arabic and write comfortably in English.
