Brief description of the course

The objective of the internship is to provide students with the opportunity to apply their Japanese language and cultural knowledge in a practical professional environment. The course develops initiative, self-management, and cooperation skills in the role of a cross-cultural mediator. Students participate as assistants in planning and conducting Japanese cultural events (e.g., cultural day workshops and Japan Club activities) and contribute to communication and administrative processes in Japanese. Throughout the activities, students act responsibly and ethically, submitting a structured self-analysis and a report on the performed tasks at the end of the internship.

Upon completing the course the student:
- introduces and mediates Japanese culture appropriately and purposefully, considering the needs of the target audience;
