MET Day Three: Stimulating from start to finish! \ud83c\udf1f\ud83d\udcda<\/p>\n
Saturday kicked off with Susan\u2019s session \u201cHow to give constructive feedback to writers (or anyone)\u201d, which included roleplays as client and editor. It really got me thinking that choosing the right words and putting yourself in others\u2019 shoes is key to giving feedback and communicating effectively.<\/p>\n
Next up was Gabriela\u2019s talk on \u2018Choosing less-travelled paths to new clients and collaborations\u2019. I wasn\u2019t sure what to expect but I went with an open mind and her talk really was encouraging us to try unexplored markets, how we can do it and what obstacles we may face.<\/p>\n
After a group photo in the beautiful courtyard, it was time for coffee \u2014 well-deserved! \u2615<\/p>\n
Clare Vassallo\u2019s session \u201cTranslation in a tourism and heritage landscape: a pragmatic view\u201d was right up my street as this is my specialisation. It highlighted how much potential is slipping through the nets, and Simon\u2019s point \u201cI don\u2019t think the translators are the issue, I think clients are\u201d really stuck with me. It\u2019s a reminder that clients don\u2019t always see the full value we bring to helping them reach international audiences.<\/p>\n
Dorothy Kenny\u2019s \u201cDancing with the devil? On the use of AI in literary translation and beyond\u201d was a timely session, sparking fascinating discussions on AI in our work.<\/p>\n
Lunch and mingling in the courtyard recharged our batteries, followed by Jules\u2019 session \u201cClearly able: sensitive editing for texts on disability\u201d, which led to thoughtful conversations about best practices and real-world challenges.<\/p>\n
I finished the day with a lighthearted session: \u201cKeeping the reader laughing: translating puns and wordplay\u201d with Rachel was a perfect way to flex those creative muscles!<\/p>\n
The afternoon wrapped up with the AGM and raffle. I wasn\u2019t lucky this time, but I\u2019m excited that next year\u2019s conference will be in Perugia, Italy!<\/p>\n
Another choir rehearsal led into the end-of-conference dinner \u2014 drinks, music, choir performances, and even a bit of dancing. \ud83d\udc83\ud83c\udfb6<\/p>\n
My MET takeaway: what a lovely bunch of people! Thank you to all of you, this experience is one which will stay with me for a very long time.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
