On Friday 26 November 2021 the Department of Foreign Languages was honoured to host a presentation by Dr Joseph Chircop entitled Translation at the General Secretariat of the Council of the EU. Dr Chircop is Quality Control Coordinator within the General Secretariat of the Council. The presentation, which was interspersed by frequent questions from our students, focussed on skills, opportunities, jobs, and the passion for languages.
"This activity helped us realise how right Umberto Eco was when he stated that the language of Europe is translation" stated Dr Karl Chircop, Subject Coordinator for the foreign languages at JC. The activity was attended by 44 language students and 6 lecturers.
