Paid Translation Opportunity for a Bilingual Speaker of Portuguese

Professional Opportunities

Arte-Via Cooperativa, in Portugal, is looking for translators of  a book by Ana Filomena Amaral, The Director.

There is funding available to support the translation of this book, from the Ministry of Culture. The Director focuses on the Sumerian epic of Gilgamesh, adapting it to the current reality. Contemporary problems are addressed, from the destruction of the oceans to the genocide of Armenians, corruption at the highest level and the predatory greed that threatens the planet, including the situation of Syrian refugees, in the perspective of what humanity wants for the future and what way is compromising you. The question of immortality is nuclear, as in the Gilgamesh epic.

The book has already been translated into Afrikaans, Albanian, Arabic, Bulgarian, English, Finnish, Greek, Indonesian, Spanish, and Swedish.

The deadline for submission to them is in March 2026, but the application must come from a publisher. If you do not have an existing relationship with a publisher for your language, contact Arte-Via Cooperativa to work on this project with them ahead of time.

KAICIID Catalysts for Cohesion (C4Ɔ) Grant Scheme 2024 (Portugal)

Grants

Call for applications:Catalysts for Cohesion (C4Ɔ) Grant Scheme, The International Dialogue Center (KAICIID), Lisbon, Portugal. Deadline: 17 June 2024.

Are you a young person aged between 18 and 30 with a great idea to change your city/locality? Do you want to be part of a new intercultural movement for change across Europe?

In an increasingly divided Europe, hate speech, racism and community divisions are worsening. Amidst this context, the International Dialogue Centre (KAICIID) is putting its trust in young people to find innovative ways forward by launching a new grants scheme for young people in European cities called Catalysts for Cohesion (C4Ɔ).

C4Ɔ will support small-scale, innovative change-making initiatives proposed by teams of young people at a city level in line with the EPDF policy recommendations around building cohesive and inclusive communities where everyone feels belonging. Young people are invited to apply in diverse teams of 2-5 members from the same location. Successful recipients will receive EUR 2,500-5,000 funding (based on the needs of the initiative) and will have access to a capacity-building training and support programme over six months. Through its young grantees, C4Ɔ will build and upskill a network of emerging European leaders supporting them to lead the way on interreligious and intercultural change.

The C4Ɔ Grant Scheme is open to enthusiastic young people who have great ideas about how to build social cohesion in their city or locality, but may lack the platforms, resources and dialogue skills to make their ideas a reality. Applications are open to mixed teams of 2-5 young people aged 18-30 from any European country as defined by the 46 Member States of the Council of Europe, with an idea for an initiative at the city or local level that implements any of the policy recommendations emerging from the 5th EPDF.

Each team should represent at least two different faith backgrounds; C4Ɔ is also particularly interested in receiving applications from diverse teams representing underserved communities, for example, in terms of gender, race, socioeconomic status and refugee and migrant backgrounds. You could be part of an existing youth organization/movement or it could be the first time you have worked together. Applicants are encouraged to think about building new coalitions before submitting an application.
