Join your translator and interpreter colleagues for an informal celebration of International Translation Day.  Snacks will be served free of charge and, while not mandatory, we encourage everyone to buy at least one drink from the bar. Members and non-members alike are welcome! (Registration required / limited capacity).

History:

In 2017, the UN General Assembly adopted resolution 71/288 on the role of language professionals in connecting nations and fostering peace, understanding, and development, and declared 30 September as International Translation Day. We invite you to come celebrate this important milestone with us on the 28th of September, this year at Botanica Bar!

Open Mic: 

Do you have a translation, poem, or any talent you would like to showcase? 

We would love to invite you to:

• Read from your own translations (published or works-in-progress). Translations may be into English or other languages.
• Read selections of your own poetry, fiction, or essays (particularly if the topic is translation-related or international, but all topics are welcome!)
• Perform a piece of your favorite music, dance, or anything you are good at. 

To participate, contact Anthony Alencar, our Program Director, upon arrival. 

We hope to see you there!
