Seminar on translation of children’s and young people’s literature<\/strong><\/p>\n

The translator network that will meet in Reykjavik in November consists of translators from all the Nordic areas, who translate into Nordic languages. The common denominator for the translators is that they translate children’s and young people’s literature in addition to adult literature.<\/p>\n

Translations for children and young people is an area that has not received the attention it deserves. Therefore Norwegian Cecilie Winger and Faroese J\u00e1kup S\u00f8rensen took the initiative for this network in 2017. This will be the first physical meeting of the translator network since before the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Nordic translators of children’s and young people’s literature will meet in Reykjavik on Friday 19th<\/sup> of November.<\/p>\n

The seminar is open to anyone who is interested in Nordic languages, translation, and children’s and young people’s literature. We follow the infection control rules and the public must wear a face mask.<\/p>\n

Here is the program:<\/p>\n

13:00-13: 15 Welcome and introduction of the network<\/p>\n
