The challenges of translation and interpretation in international projects

The case of the European Twinning project between Spain and Algeria

| University of Valladolid, Spain |
This work presents a practical perspective on the challenges of translation and interpretation in the context of an international project. It uses the European Twinning project titled “Support to the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research for the strengthening of pedagogical competencies of teacher-researchers and the governance capacities of managers” (PAPERS) as a case study. The unique situations that emerged during this project, from linguistic, cultural, social, political, economic, and even health perspectives — arising from the impact of the 2019 coronavirus pandemic in its midway development — make it an intriguing subject for observation within the domains of Translation, Interpretation, Education, and related areas concerning learning methods and the use of new technologies.
Keywords: international project, twinning, translation, interpretation, education
