Human-Nature Delegation - Kampung Sting, Sarawak

We are seeking to hire a translator for the Human-Nature 'Community Engagement Guide'.

About this opportunity 

The British Council has launched a new global programme called Culture Responds to Global Challenges. Through this strand of work, we support artists, creative practitioners, organisations and policymakers in their work to respond to global challenges and support sustainable development. In Malaysia the British Council will run Human-Nature: a 3-year programme that will enable UK and Malaysian artists, organisations, scientists and academics to research and collaborate to better understand Human’s relationships with nature and with each other. 

Scope of Work 

As part of the Human-Nature programme, the British Council has commissioned the 'Community Engagement Guide' as one of the outcomes of the Human-Nature programme. Authored by Catriona Maddocks of Catama Borneo, the guide now requires translation from English into Bahasa Malaysia to reach a wider audience, with plans to publish the guide digitally and physically.

 The Community Engagement Guide will also be illustrated. A Request for Quotation for Illustrators is currently being advertised.
