Social Sciences - Education / Pedagogy / Educacin | | English term or phrase: May Week | ¿Cómo traducir "May week", si de hecho los festivales se llevan a cabo en junio?
Contexto:
This year's May Week performance and garden party will feature a hilarious and witty one-act operetta by Sir Arthur Sullivan, entitled 'The Zoo'. It contains Lords in disguise, the Great British Public, bounteous sweets and candy, and even a bear pit - what more could you possibly want?!
The performance will be on the afternoon of Wednesday 22nd June in the Old Labs, Newnham College, and followed by a gorgeous garden party for performers and audience - how beautiful! |

| | Festival/Celebración de fin de cursos ("May Week") | Explanation:
Hola Anita,
Mira esta explicación:
"May Week is the name used within the University of Cambridge to refer to the week following Suicide Sunday and ***the end of the academic year***. ***Contrary to its name, it no longer occurs in May, but rather in June****. Being the week after examinations finish for the year, it is a cause for heavy celebration amongst the students of the University. Highlights of the week include May balls, as well as College events and garden parties.
During this time, students get a much needed opportunity to relax where some choose to punt on the River Cam (sometimes to Grantchester) taking in the beauty Cambridge in the summer has to offer.

| Grading comment Gracias, Oso, y a todos por la ayuda. Usé esta traducción, pero en vez de "cursos", en plural, puse "curso", en singular, porque en Argentina lo usamos más en singular. Muchas Gracias.
