Educating for "great health": life and (trans) formation

This essay resulted from the life experience and reflections of two healthcare professionals (a psychologist and a nurse) with daily involvement in professional training within higher education. It puts into the picture the power of encounters as (trans) formation processes, especially when education, language and health are the desire intermediation terms. It puts into question the encounters that vitalize or weaken the professional training process as a self-training experience of ethical-esthetic-political nature that goes beyond training technical and scientific skills and abilities. The text also aims to show the power of informality in constructing new knowledge, thereby allowing hybrid learning in which it is no longer certain for what time we are nurses, psychologists, teachers, philosophers or friends, which enables and from which comes a transdisciplinary attitude.
