SUMMER SCHOOLS

The Faculty of Arts of the University of Maribor proudly hosted the 11th International Summer Academy in Translation Studies and the TRANS 2024 Conference. This vibrant event brought together over 40 students and lecturers from across Europe to explore the evolving field of translation studies through hands-on workshops, engaging round tables, and cultural excursions.

With a focus on German, English, Slovene, and other Central and South-East European languages, participants delved into the role of translation as a cornerstone of intercultural communication in a multilingual world. Organized in collaboration with the Directorate-General for Translation at the European Parliament, the programme highlighted the importance of fostering mobility, collaboration, and respect for lesser-known languages across Europe.

This memorable academy celebrated the rich tapestry of languages and cultures while empowering future translators to bridge communication gaps in a globalised society.
