It is assumed the mobilization of this type of data, for health care and intercultural mediation among the actors that are members of it.
Teaching methodologies (including evaluation)
Exhibition sessions are developed, using videogram analysis to develop a culturally sensitive perspective. Exercises are developed to experiment with different roles by students essentially stimulating the capacity of care and mediation among actors in health care. Evaluation: 1 written individual reflection.
Demonstration of the coherence between the teaching methodologies and the learning outcomes
In order to understand people in their diversity, in a logic of respect for different values, beliefs and customs in the health-disease processes, exhibition sessions are developed, using projection of videograms for future recontextualization in professional contexts. It aims to identify different cultures and traditions to be mobilized in health contexts and in mediation among the actors involved. Self-working hours result from teachers' guidance on fundamental research.
