Transcultural Skills for Health and caRE
Start date: Nov 1, 2009,
In Europe more and more immigrants are coming from other countries. This means the need to improve our health services in order to comply with their needs, not only physical, but cultural one. There is a high percentage of misunderstanding between the health operators and the immigrants: different approaches to care and no tools for the trans-cultural exchange. Moreover even the therapeutic mediator often has no tool to support the trans-cultural exchange too.
