We look forward to welcoming a new group of translators to our Translator Hotel at Bondeheimen in Oslo, where they will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in Norwegian literature, language, and culture.
The spring session will take place from May 12–25, with four available spots.
The Writers’ Guild of Norway (in Norwegian: Dramatikerforbundet) may award grants for the translation of Norwegian dramatic works to other languages. The primary purpose of the grant scheme is to contribute to the presentation/production of Norwegian drama abroad.
NORLA is looking forward to gathering ten translators of Norwegian literature in Lillehammer, as we do annually for the Norwegian Festival of Literature / Sigrid Undset Days on June 3-6.
This year the festival is celebrating its 30th anniversary, and the theme of the program is Sápmi.
The festival runs from June 2 through June 8.
