TRANSLATION CLUB

Hello, I am Sena Ekinci. I am a student of translation and interpretation department in Istanbul 29 May University. I run the presidency of the translation club which is operational in our school. Our club was founded in 2014 by our senior friends. The aim of our branch is to increase the knowledge and experience of the members in the group of translation and to pass what they have learned in the academic field under the club aegis. As the board of directors, we meet once a month in the club office that our school has allocated to us. Our membership count is approximately fifty and over. Generally our colleagues who are studying in the translation and interpretation field wish to join the club. We organize seminars throughout the year, by inviting representatives from the transcription sector, and academicians to our school. Apart from that, we are organizing workshops, such as subtitling, and poetry translation. And on that note, we also increase our practice in translation. Since February 2017 our club is a member of the Turkish Association of Translation Students. Due o this issue we are also in contact with other translation clubs. This year, we are going to host National Dialogue Student Workshop, which is the largest event organized by the students namely, in the study field of transcription. We can say that this is the biggest event we will organize in three years until this time. There is no specific prerequisite for membership in our group. We are open to all our friends who are studying at our school. Our field’s largest common ground is communication. This has helped me to improve both my communication skills and organizational skills by arranging organizations and regulating events. I would like to wish luck to my friends who would like to come to Istanbul 29 May University. If they wish to study in the field of transcription science, our doors are open to them as the translation science club.
