About the conference

 

The HUM-665 Research Group "Research and Evaluation in Intercultural Education" would like to warmly welcome you to the VI International Intercultural Education Conference, EDUCATION AND HEALTH: FROM A TRANSCULTURAL PERSPECTIVE, which will take place in Almeria from 7th to 9th November 2013.

This VI Edition will offer the change of analyzing and discussing the challenges that institutions, and educational or public health communities, immersed in a globalization context. The migrations and the cultural coexistence are an unavoidable reality for both as society fundamental foundations.

The conference aims to, on the one hand, to create a reflection space about theoretical and philosophical considerations related to migrations, interculturality, transculturality, equity, globality and its implications within the different fields; and, on the other hand, to generate knowledge and mainstream a inter or transcultural perspective in the fields of study, allowing to move forward to an Education and Health field which are more global, integral and conscious of the current time.

Transcultural Health, Intercultural Education, research and innovation must strengthen and interrelate their doctrines, creating bonds which convert them into spearheads of Spanish, European and Global Societies.

The range of options available to participate in the meeting, both in English and Spanish, has been increased in this edition, including in-person and online attendance. In-person attendance will include plenary talks, symposiums, meeting with scholars, oral presentations and poster presentations.

We encourage you to take an active role in the conference, and to submit proposals for the different sessions of the scientific program.

We are sure that Almeria will provide, once more, a magnificent setting to a high quality meeting, with more than one thousand years of cultural melting pot, reflected in its architecture and arts, in a coastal Mediterranean environment.

We will be delighted to welcome you to Almeria in 2013.
