Summary/Abstract: The article presents the latest project of lecturer researchers from several departments of New Bulgarian University (NBU) – the yearbook Cross-Cultural Communication. The idea, which was conceived in late autumn 2022 at a meeting of NBU’s Reading Club at the presentation of the proceedings from the jubilee conference Business Communication, Language, Literature and Culture – dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the MA program Business Communication (fulltime and distance learning) and the 25th anniversary of the BA program Russian Studies (with English as a second foreign language), and supported by the Union of Scientists in Bulgaria – began to materialize in 2023 with an edition of nearly 600 pages. The authors of the articles vividly illustrate that we live in an age of globalization, cultural convergence and interaction, linguistic diversity, and rapidly changing priorities – in which each of us becomes an intermediary or mediator in various forms of communication. An example of such interaction is the existence and success of different interdisciplinary programs worldwide and at NBU, where mediation skills accompany the acquisition of foreign languages, emphasizing communication and interaction between different disciplines and cultures.
