The proposed course is an integral part of the professional training for translators and intercultural mediators. The lecture sessions involve an in-depth exploration of contemporary theories of intercultural communication, the specificities of a translator's work in the international translation services market, particularly in the social role of an intercultural manager. The practical sessions focus on the development and training of intercultural competence and the formation of an understanding of the translator's role as an intercultural mediator. Discussions revolve around the works of domestic and foreign theorists of intercultural communication, where students analyze intercultural asymmetry (primarily between Ukraine and German-speaking countries) in various discourses such as history, culture, religion, social relations, mentality, traditions, and more. Students gain a deeper understanding of the specificities of communication in each German-speaking country and explore ways in which translators can overcome intercultural asymmetry in different communicative situations.
