Our work with Chernivtsi University’s Department of Linguistics & Translation

In 2023, the Department of Linguistics and Translation at Chernivtsi National University engaged in a collaboration with Docutribe, Inc. in a joint initiative to provide students with the invaluable opportunity to present their narratives on a global platform through the art of filmmaking and storytelling.

Cecily Tyler partnered with the Department's Head, Vasyl Bialyk, to equip students with leadership training, essential skills in creating short films and enriching their understanding of cinematic history.

The participants acquired a diverse range of practical and applicable skills, including conducting interviews, filming in diverse settings, editing and disseminating video content, and exploring various forms of translation through the utilization of video editing software. This collaboration culminated in the inaugural screening of the students' works at the esteemed Chernivtsi Cinema Hall in 2024, where all of the members of the project had a chance to present and discuss their pieces of cinematography.

Our cooperation with the Department of Linguistics and Translation continues to grow and evolve, creating new opportunities to advance language and translation education through innovation, technology, and creative teaching approaches.

Over the course of our collaboration, we have been working toward creating a more interactive, engaging, and future-oriented learning experience for students. By introducing interactive resources, digital tools, practical activities, and gamification into the classroom, we are helping transform traditional learning into a more dynamic and student-centered process.

These approaches encourage students to actively participate, experiment, collaborate, and apply their knowledge in practical contexts, while developing essential skills beyond traditional translation practice. In particular, students have opportunities to strengthen their adaptability, storytelling and filmmaking skills, while also exploring and enhancing their subtitling expertise — a field closely connected to both the modern translation industry and their academic specialization.
