Events & Workshops

We regularly host events and run workshops for our members, the industry (fellow translators working from other languages, publishers, and agents), and anyone with an interest in translation and Danish literature.

Below, you’ll find details of upcoming events and workshops, along with an overview of past activities. These are divided into Public Events & Workshops and Members-Only Events & Workshops.

Stay tuned for our next Danish Literary Showcase in 2025!

Until then, explore past events by visiting our Facebook page, where you can find our Danish Literary Showcase livestreams. We’ve also collaborated with Translators Aloud on several occasions, and you can enjoy readings from our members on their YouTube channel.
