What is Translation Village Festival?
Organised by the Translation Village team,
Translation Village Festivals offer a multilingual and transcultural experience for people who desire a free, fair and peaceful life. The festival is free and open to everyone. No experience or knowledge is required to participate in the workshops.
We will be hosting 5 great multilingual and multiinstrumental music groups on our stage. Deli Reçel, Ezgi Tekin, Muammer Ketencoğlu & Agora Minör, İmvros Ensemble, Peradi Ensemble and Naranjaman at the DJ Set.
There will be various dance workshops and participatory performances from different parts of the world. Balfolk (European Folk Dances) and Traditional Greek Dances.
We’ll discuss how recent technological developments impact our profession, how to improve our working conditions, solve our professional problems and build alternative economy models among our community.
