One of our team members liked the idea of speaking with other young translators in the school. We came up with the idea of organising a storyboard competition and inviting the students to share their translating experiences.
We developed a storyboard template, guidance notes and a promotional poster, and with the support of the school staff and student volunteers, we completed the activities. The storyboards were judged by the club members based on four categories: 1) Best story; 2) Best presentation; 3) Most impactful and 4) Runner up. All the storyboards were anonymised. We presented the winners with a certificate and prize which was awarded in a school assembly.

OF BEING A YOUNG TRANSLATOR.
OF BEING A YOUNG TRANSLATOR.
We planned a storyboard competition across the school for students who speak more than one language and who translate for friends and/or family. The theme of the competition was to share their experiences of translating for others. We judged the submissions during our Club sessions and we picked the winners.
Have a look at some of the storyboard submissions:
In this storyboard, the young translator has shared their experiences of translating for their mother across three different spaces: a supermarket, a parents' evening at school and the pharmacy. The student explained how they helped their mother pay at the shop, communicate with the student's teacher, as well as ask about a specific item at the pharmacy.
This picture depicts a meeting with a parent and a teacher. The young person explains she had to translate about her learning. In the last picture, the young person and her mum were on the phone to the teacher and both told her how proud they were of her translating
In this Storyboard the student explains that they translated for a new classmate. At first, this went well but after a while the new classmate become quite rude when she tried to translate. She explained that she was just trying to be 'nice'.
This student told the story of bumping into a student she used to translate for in Primary School who spoke Romanian. The student and her mother were lost and she helped them find their way to reception.
