What We Do
Anthea Bell Prize for Young Translators
Anthea Bell Prize for Young Translators
The Translation Exchange launched this competition for schools in 2020. The competition is inspired by the life and work of the great translator Anthea Bell. It aims to promote language learning across the UK and to inspire creativity in the classroom. By providing teachers with the tools they need to bring translation to life, we hope to motivate more pupils to study modern foreign languages throughout their time at school and beyond.
