The study is devoted to the development of a training manual for those who continue or improve their education, which is aimed at independent mastery of German vocabulary determined by a guided tour of Yekaterinburg, as well as the formation of the ability to operate this vocabulary during a guided tour of Yekaterinburg or its sequential translation. During the study, the entry flow of German tourists to Yekaterinburg was analyzed and their attitude to the city was determined. In addition, features were identified during the training of guide-translators and the existing methodological support for them was analyzed. They also examined approaches to teaching foreign languages and developed exercises based on predefined topics and lexical material in accordance with the lesson for the manual on the development of the lexical skills of German-speaking guide-translators in Yekaterinburg. In conclusion, the content of the training manual was described. In the course of the study, one of the versions of the training manual on the development of lexical skills of German-speaking guide-translators in Yekaterinburg was developed. The created training manual will be able to facilitate the preparation of excursion texts for beginner guide-translators and facilitate their adaptation to the specifics of the profession, as well as increase the level of excursions, as uniformity in translation can reduce the tourists' search for information on the Internet, guidebooks, books and other resources, as well as prevent possible distortions in understanding information. / Исследование посвящено разработке учебного пособия для продолжающих или совершенствующих свое образование, которое направленно на самостоятельное овладение немецкой лексикой, детерминированной обзорной экскурсией по Екатеринбургу, а также на формирование умения оперировать этой лексикой во время проведения обзорной экскурсии по Екатеринбургу или ее последовательного перевода. В процессе исследования был проанализирован въездной поток немецких туристов в Екатеринбург и было определено их отношение к городу. Помимо этого, были выявлены особенности при обучении гидов-переводчиков и было проанализировано уже существующее методическое обеспечение для них. Также были рассмотрены подходы к обучению иностранным языкам и разработаны упражнения на основе заданных тем и лексического материала в соответствии с этапом урока для учебного пособия по развитию лексических навыков немецкоговорящих гидов-переводчиков в Екатеринбурге. В заключении было описано содержание учебного пособия. В процессе исследования был разработан один из вариантов учебного пособия по развитию лексических навыков немецкоговорящих гидов-переводчиков в Екатеринбурге. Созданное учебное пособие сможет облегчить подготовку текстов экскурсий начинающих гидов-переводчиков и облегчит их адаптацию к специфике профессии, а также повысит уровень проводимых экскурсий, так как единообразие в переводе может сократить поиск туристами нужной информации в интернете, путеводителях, книгах и других ресурсах, а также предотвратить возможные искажения в понимании информации.

Municipal and regional actors, and in particular their respective governments, have key roles to play for society’s transition to sustainability, and many good efforts have been made. However, co-creating sustainable visions and effective governance towards such visions is a complex challenge and an overarching systems perspective is often lacking in the decision making. This is an often-forgotten piece in the sustainability discourse, which risks leading to ’solutions’ in one area that cause problems in another area. This, in turn, risks leading to unnecessary goal-conflicts, sub-optimizations, and slow progress. Despite good insights and actions on sub-parts of the sustainability challenge, capacity to coordinate efforts across sectors is generally missing. The overarching aim of this work was therefore to explore how practitioners, not the least leaders, in municipalities and regions can be sufficiently supported in their missions to enhance cross-sectoral strategic work for sustainability. The overall pursuit of this aim was undertaken through an action research approach with seven Swedish municipalities, two Swedish regions and one Finnish region. Initially, practitioners’ perspectives of what hinders effective sustainability transitions in their municipalities or regions were investigated through focus group discussions. In addition to many specific, context dependent barriers, a prevailing blindness to barriers that are directly linked to a lack of a sufficiently large systems perspective was found. Most of the action research was about testing an existing preliminary implementation model for multi-stakeholder co-creation and co-learning for strategic sustainable development. The model was evaluated in terms of strengths, weaknesses, barriers and enablers through observations, dialogues, round table discussions and a survey. The preliminary implementation model was generally appreciated by practitioners and was generally considered to fill its purpose. However, a need for additional support was pointed out, to assist continued work with the model in the absence of external expert facilitators. A key element of the asked-for support was ways to involve and engage top leaders into active participation already upfront. An approach to achieve this was explored in one of the participating municipalities. This included an initial assessment of current work and existing steering systems and their alignment with the preliminary implementation model, followed by a focus group discussion with political and administrative leaders. In combination with a comprehensive understanding of barriers to effective sustainability transitions, the result from the testing of the preliminary implementation model and the approach to engaging leaders have laid a foundation for methodological support for cross-sectoral municipal and regional strategic work for sustainability.
