Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation ran its Literature in Translation and Multilingualism programme from 2011 to 2014 with the aim of developing cultural understanding in the UK.

This publication offers a survey of the programme. It provides an overview of what the Foundation funded, our rationale for support and the connections between different projects – in particular how the learning from specific projects led us to support other related pieces of work – and some lessons, identified from the programme as a whole.

In addition, it provides case study descriptions of each funded project highlighting outcomes so far.
