School projects

In conjunction with schools in the Zürich Oberland region, we organize regular translation workshops for young people with professional literary translators, introducing young people to the profession. We also hold regular one to two-week translation workshops for young people. Led by an experienced translator, participants from the third year of high school and above work on translating a short story or comic from a foreign language into German. They learn how professionals translate and research, and sharpen their awareness of language register and nuance in German and other languages. They gain an insight into the everyday work of literary translators in conversation with guests at Translation House Looren.

Translation House Looren takes care of all organisation and administration. The participating schools pay a share of the workshop leader’s fee and any catering costs.
