Three students, Giuseppe Sapiano, Maria Cristina Mallia and Sharon Cilia represented Junior College in the Juvenes Translatores Contest 2021 which was held on Thursday 25 November 2021. Three thousand sixth-form students from all EU Member States participated in this competition.
This year the topic of the texts was Let鈥檚 get on track - towards a greener future. The Maltese-English text was a fictional narrative set in the distant future that sees the island of Malta transformed into a green haven, whereas the English-Maltese text was an email exchange between two friends who attended a conference on climate and the environment.
Participating in the contest was a most enjoyable experience as the students had the opportunity of working with the two different languages, learning about the nuances of languages while also making new friends and sharing their love of the languages.
