This week sees the start of the first online version of the URV’s Study Abroad programme, involving 53 students in Translation from the Università Ca’Foscari Venezia. The course is the result of collaboration between Ester Torres, coordinator of the University Master’s Degree in Professional English-Spanish Translation, and the Italian university

Holding this kind of training sessions during university studies and professional practice improve educators’ digital skills and knowledge, and also the quality and impact of classroom activities.
