Conference for freelance translators and interpreters 18-19 June, 2016 - Porto, Portugal
EXTRA EVENTS
This four-hour masterclass is not for everyone.
(Maximum 20 people; participants should have at least 8 years’ experience)
For experienced translators and interpreters who are seriously interested in moving their translation practice up a gear in 2016, join Chris for her Business Acceleration Masterclass on Monday, June 20.
This masterclass, immediately following Aptrad's 1st International Conference, is not for beginners, part-timers, dabblers or ditherers.
It targets translators with at least eight years’ experience who have acquired enough experience to know that translation is for them. Who are passionate about their work—or who, facing price and other pressures, would dearly like to rekindle that passion. Who are at a stage in their practice and life where they want to raise the ante, and who are prepared to invest serious time and energy to position themselves in market segments offering greater intellectual satisfaction and significantly higher financial rewards.
Content includes but is not limited to specialization, marketing and pricing.
Early Bird (two-for-one) available until 29/04

Porto Cálem, is a house that produces wines of a superior quality, widely recognized through successive international awards. We will visit the cellars where Calém wines age for many years until they achieve their perfect balance and we will learn how to distinguish the different aromas and flavours in a wine tasting. We will learn more about the unique landscape of the demarcated region of Douro Valley and get to know the features which make this wine a special and unique one.
Cálem will be welcoming us into the World of Port Wine in two different visits, so we can take part in an unforgettable experience which will teach us how to really enjoy a Port.
1. Cálem Port Wine Cellar Tour & Taste

Visit to the Cálem Cellars with a wine tasting (white and red Port) at the end in Sala de Provas.

A shawl, a Portuguese guitar, a voice and heartfelt emotion! This simple image could describe Fado, a recognised symbol of Portugal, and a music of the world that is genuinely Portuguese. At its heart is sentiment, lost love, longing for a departed one, everyday life and triumphs.
Fado is part of the Portuguese soul, and in 2011, UNESCO granted Fado World Heritage status! It was born in the 19th century and it is a symbol of the national culture. Along with the Portuguese guitar, a male and a female voice, Fado is by itself, the voice of the Portuguese people. Get together the tradition of the Port Wine and Cálem Cellars in a different moment: a visit to the cellars, with a wine tasting, followed by a Fado show.
