Attending and actively participating in international scientific meetings and sharing scientific knowledge that is being produced all around the world is essential to all healthcare professionals interested in updating their knowledge. A variety of language activities, some based on ICPN standards, will help you to develop the oral and written competence necessary for communication at a scientific conference abroad. If you are going to present a poster, it could help you to be more successful.

Our social and workplace environment are becoming more and more colourful and diverse. We meet foreign colleagues in the workplace and we deal and communicate with foreign patients on a daily basis. This leads to challenges for mutual understanding – and understanding is required, not just from a language point of view. The intercultural workplace also provides us with an opportunity to learn and to see things from a different perspective.

When we regarded conflict situations mentioned in the modules before, we could see that there were no easy decisions concerning tolerance and acceptance. Therefore, we want to learn more. We want to acquire knowledge and skills to avoid or to settle conflicts and also to profit from different views, skills and change of perspectives.
In this module we will focus on important differences that we encounter, socially based standards, habits, communication styles in other countries or cultures.

This intercultural module enlarges the learning offer from
the HELP learning platform. Knowledge about why
we need intercultural competence nowadays in the workplace has been developed
gradually into the HELP intercultural modules one to six. We have also learned
in the modules before about how to meet challenges and use the potentials from
our multicultural environments. Nevertheless, the modules summarise former
sections or consider intercultural phenomena from different perspectives so
that independent work with each topic is possible. In line with the HELP
objectives, we have focussed on care and healthcare. However, we think that the
content will allow easy transfer to other disciplines and will be valuable to
increase the quality of cooperation in multicultural teams in any workplace,
and lead to better understanding in daily life.
For HELP2 we have chosen the topic of “Religion”. We have selected it because
it has become really important in the media and in daily life experience, in
and outside the lecture hall and the workplace.
