Summary/Abstract: In the Polish education context, the use of concrete translation assignments in the training of translators is a relatively new practice. The theoretical basis for such a teaching method combine aspects of sociology, didactic approaches originating in social constructivism and organizational procedures characteristic to knowledge transfer projects. The article presents a pilot translation project conducted in the academic year of 2011/2012 by the students of the Postgraduate Translation School at the Institute of Romance Studies (University of Wrocław). The project consisted in the translation of a tourist text from Polish into Spanish. The conclusions drawn from this experiment reflect its complex nature, at the same time providing a departure point for future projects of a similar type.
