International Translation Day – 2020
Voronezh State University
Faculty of Romance and Germanic Philology
Celebration background
It is 18 years since we started celebrating the International Translation Day at VSU. It is the celebration we look forward to every year, so preparations for the day start well in advance at the very first meeting with our 1st year students.
We have always tried to promote the sense of belonging to a professional community from the very beginning. The celebration of ITD is a great start!
Celebration traditions
Events:
On this day the 1st year students get together at the university concert hall. After the official address by invited quest-speakers, the academic staff and translation practitioners, listening to the life story of St Jerome, the patron saint of translators, students deliver their presentations/performances to introduce themselves in the most creative and friendliest atmosphere.
Inspired by noble ideals, glorious examples and generous sacrifice…
On this day students stage funny sketch shows, sing songs, recite poems and finally join an exciting flash mob.
Rituals:
The party finishes with students solemnly taking an oath to translate accurately, completely and impartially.
After that students are invited to help themselves to lump sugar and bread croutons, which symbolize future difficulties in their profession as well as satisfaction of overcoming them!
Announcements of the day:
Call for Translation Contest for students of Russian universities. Initiated and maintained by professor V. Kashkin, supported by the faculty staff and administration, it has been annually held for many years and successfully coordinated by VSU.
