Making Literature Travel

Translation Nation aims to inspire children and young people to begin or continue what we hope is a lifelong exploration of literature and culture from around the world, an enjoyment and appreciation of literary English, as well as pride in the many languages that have become part of our community and are spoken or taught in schools. The project is a partnership between Eastside Educational Trust and the Stephen Spender Trust. Translation Nation brings together the expertise of Eastside’s work in educational settings and the Stephen Spender Trust’s commitment to literature in translation.

Translation Nation was launched in 2010, and has now been developed for primary and secondary schools. Schools in London or beyond interested in translation workshops should contact Eastside Educational Trust for further information and for details about getting involved.
