Seminars

Outside In World ran two seminars featuring the Reading the Way project at the International Bologna Children's Book Fair and London Book Fair in March and April 2015. 

Reading the Way, translating the Way: Finding and translating books for ALL children
Bologna Children’s Book Fair

This seminar explored some of the findings from the project by exploring the challenges of translating books about and featuring disability including honouring the original text whilst also acknowledging issues such as cultural differences, varying attitudes to disability, and trends in language and terminology.

Reading the Way: A Translation Challenge
London Book Fair, 2015

The seminar explored the subject of accessible and inclusive books and outline why it's so important that the mainstream children's book industry endeavours to include children with additional needs. It will indicate what can be learned from other countries' activities in this area and highlight examples of specific gaps that are missing in the UK and the books that we have identified to try to fill them. It will go on to share some of the experiences of translators involved in the programme.  What are the particular challenges involved in a project like this?  For example, how are books are affected by changing terminology, cultural differences or varying attitudes towards disability?
