Multilingual Creators is a new creative learning programme from the Stephen Spender Trust [SST], the UK's leading charity for multilingual creativity in schools.
Multilingual Creators builds on over a decade of education programmes at SST, comprising Translation Nation, Translators in Schools and Creative Translation in the Classroom.
We are recruiting 12 translators and writers who are based in or around our 3 target areas — Newcastle upon Tyne, Greater Manchester, and Norwich — to participate in a paid training opportunity in June and July 2021.
Having completed the training programme, participants will be invited to apply to deliver a blended course of workshops for young people in their region on the theme of 'Me and My City'. These courses are expected to take place in autumn 2021, and facilitators will be paid an additional freelance fee for this work.
‘Me and My City’ will see young participants producing and sharing pieces of translation and creative writing that incorporate the languages spoken by them and their communities, as well as those they are learning at school.
A partnership between the Stephen Spender Trust, National Centre for Writing, New Writing North and Comma Press. Supported by Arts Council England and Greater Manchester Combined Authority.
