  • Translation and Interpreting Programme of Baltic International
    Translation and Interpreting Programme of Baltic International Academy Latvian Association of Translators and Interpreters European Consortium for the Certificate of Attainment in Modern Languages invite to participate at 2nd INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL IN FREELANCE TRANSLATION July 2-6, 2018 Who it is for The programme is designed for • university students and graduates of translation studies • secondary school students and recent graduates • everybody who wishes to apply skills to pursue a career in translation and interpretation. Why to apply Freelancing is increasingly a choice that people make in order to escape the 9-to-5 workday. They say, that by the year 2020, the majority of Millennials will no longer be in an office job, instead choosing the life of a freelancer. Translators as representatives of so-called creative class are probably the most glamorous face of freelancing. Who of us haven’t ever dreamt of living in Mallorca and having a distant job at the same time? Flexible hours, keeping all the profits, not having a horrible boss (actually not having any boss at all) – just some of the attractive features of freelancing in translation. But what do you know about working unsociable hours to meet tight deadlines, having a lot of legwork and not having a fixed monthly income? And do you want to know how to overcome those disadvantages of freelancing work? During this one-week event, experienced trainers and experts from both the academic and the professional world will answer this question through presentations, workshops, and discussions. When does it take place and where? 2- 6 July, 2018 Lomonosova street 4, Riga, Latvia What certificates do I receive? Upon successful completion of the summer school, you will receive a "Certificate of Completion." This is a document that states that you have gone through the necessary training of Summer School.

  • Computer-Mediated Environment As a New Technological Real Virtuality Triggering Virtual Identity Development
    COMPUTER MODELLING & NEW TECHNOLOGIES 2015 19(5D) 7-16 Lobanova-Shunina T, Shunin Y Computer-mediated environment as a new technological real virtuality triggering virtual identity development T Lobanova-Shunina1*, Y Shunin2 1Riga Technical University, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Transport and Aeronautics, Latvia 2Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia, ISMA University, Latvia *Corresponding author’s e-mail: [email protected] Received 1 October 2015, www.cmnt.lv Abstract In contemporary higher education, it has become a commonplace to emphasize that our globalized world is undergoing an identity crisis. The signs of this crisis particularly in social and cultural spheres are abundantly increasing as we go through the global, postmodern and information era in which the concept of identity turns out to be more complex than ever before. This paper explores significant trends in contemporary higher citizenship education including a specific focus on the role of ITs and communication technologies, as well as new emerging technologies on the development of new emerging identities, particularly, virtual identity. The purpose of this paper is to bring together various elements that represent the complex conceptuality of virtual identity within technological society. It engages into a research of what awareness young people are now getting of new information and communication technologies and how global media may possess the potential to transform their identity and in what way educational institutions should understand and respond to this evolving virtual reality. In this paper, we address these issues both from a quantitative and qualitative standpoint. The key issues under research include the Systemic approach to identity formation as a synergy of information and communication technology (ICT) and virtual reality in citizenship education at Riga Technical University, Faculty of Mechanical engineering, Transport and Aeronautics (Riga, Latvia).
