| Description | The two Moravian departments of neerlandistik celebrated their 75th anniversary in 2022. To commemorate this anniversary, organised the department in Olomouc on 06/10/2022 The Day of Science, a symposium, and Brno organised The Day of Translation, aimed at students of Czech and Slovak Dutch studies. The Day of Translation was festively opened by Mr Koen Haverbeke, the Flemish representative and by the head of the Department of German, Mr Aleš Urválek and by the section head of neerlandistics Ms Marta Kostelecká. Ms Blanka Juranová and Ms Veronika Horáčková then introduced the European translation project CELA and each of them held a translation workshop with the students and a discussion with authors Yelena Schmitz and Lisa Weeda, whose texts the students translated. The students translated an extract of the text in advance so that translation problems and solutions could be discussed effectively during the workshop. The second component of the Day of Translation was a lecture by the translator Mr Kees Mercks on the translation of Jan Amos Comenius's The Labyrinth of the World, and the students also had the opportunity to discuss the translation of the book Jan Amos Comenius, Four Centuries of Footprints in the Netherlands, on which most of the students collaborated. The Day of Translation was also made possible thanks to the Diplomatic Representation of the Flemish Government in the Czech Republic, the CELA project, the Erasmus+ project, Czech Lit and the Dutch Language Union. |
