Performance lecture: Intercultural Health Encounters
A Performance Lecture is a fusion between a performance and an academic lecture, organized in collaboration between Regionteatern, the Cultural University at Linnaeus University and the LNU Knowledge Environment Sustainable Health.
It is a way of exploring and communicating science through the performing arts, where knowledge is conveyed using the tools of theater. You are warmly welcome to a unique evening where art and science mix, providing space for both experience and learning.
Intercultural competence: a cornerstone of quality healthcare in multicultural societies
In today’s increasingly diverse societies, healthcare professionals engage with patients from a wide range of cultural backgrounds. In clinical settings, communication is not just transactional, it’s therapeutic, relational and embedded in cultural context. Intercultural competence encompasses verbal, non-verbal, shared meanings, tailored measures and relational dynamics. It requires more than language skills: cultural translation, sensitivity, and institutional support are key.
By fostering trust, acknowledging diverse worldviews and adapting care to cultural needs, professionals can contribute to more inclusive, effective and sustainable health systems.
