Research confirms vulnerable position of literary translators in the Netherlands and Flanders

 Literair vertalers in Nederland en Vlaanderen bevinden zich in een steeds kwetsbaardere positie op de arbeidsmarkt. Factoren zoals de dominantie van het Engels, de stijgende verkoop van anderstalige titels en de opkomst van artificial intelligence (AI) hebben een significante impact op hun toch al precaire situatie. Dit blijkt uit een kwalitatief onderzoek uitgevoerd door de Boekmanstichting in opdracht van het…

A day of talking about impact mostly produces uncertainty.

VMBO-scholieren in de Flevopolder hebben vertrouwen gekregen van hun docenten. Ze mochten zelf bedenken hoe ze een rondleiding op werelderfgoedlocatie Schokland leuker en leerzamer konden maken.

‘ZZP’ers tijdens corona vooral in de steek gelaten door grote structureel gesubsidieerde kunstinstellingen.’

“De coronacrisis legt een aantal zwaktes van de culturele en creatieve sector bloot.
