In the 21st century globalisation is shaping our lives more than ever – in particular in the movement not just of ideas and resources, but of individuals. As the European Union has expanded, professionals and skilled workers have moved around the continent to find new work and new career opportunities. Nurses in particular travel far and wide from their home countries in search of job opportunities and career advancement.
As we travel across cultural, geographical and political boundaries in our caring profession, we are also caring for people who have travelled from their home nations. This presents us with many challenges, both professional and spiritual. These are not new challenges – the early church faced them as they spread the Good News about Jesus from Judea and Galilee to the farthest reaches of the Roman Empire and beyond, in a time of globalisation that in many ways echoes our own. What can we learn from scripture and professional practice about how to respond to globalisation as nurses?
The aims of this conference are to:
• Examine how nurses live with change, difference, uncertainty and opportunity in the light of globalisation and the gospel
• Reflect on professional practice in the light of faith and globalisation
• Explore future issues for the nursing profession in Europe.
The Bible Exposition will be on the book of Daniel and will be led by Pastor Beniamin Fărăgău (Iris Baptist Church, Cluj). Daniel was a man who lived across cultures as a Jewish exile in the Empire of Babylon, but who also maintained his faith and integrity.
The opening address of the conference will be given by Barbara White, President of Nurses Christian Fellowship International.
Plenaries on each morning will be given by leading nurses from across Europe on professional topics related to the conference theme and the Bible Exposition.
