Abstract

Introduction: Growing cultural diversity presents new challenges and opportunities in healthcare, requiring approaches that promote culturally sensitive care. Differentiated nursing education advocates for an active methodology, providing strategies to develop skills connected to social reality, such as participation in mobility programs in diverse international contexts. This study aims to conduct a reflexive analysis of the learning experiences gained for the formative and professional development process. Methodology: A descriptive study, experience report type, which describes the journey of five students of the Master's Degree in Rehabilitation Nursing during the Blended Intensive Programme (Erasmus+) at the University of Applied Sciences in Tarnów. Discussion: Description of the activities carried out during the physical mobility period, which included various theoretical and practical classes on postural assessment, posture self-awareness techniques, interactive activities on posture evaluation and interpretation across different cultures, linguistic and cultural differences, role-playing games applying culturally sensitive language in different contexts. The program emphasized cultural diversity awareness, communication, self-awareness, and understanding of others. Conclusions: It is essential to promote the use of these educational resources in academic practice to share knowledge, change practices, and strengthen peer relationships, fostering an open-minded approach to the world.
