The contribution of communication sciences to intermediation professions

While the "One Health" concept aims to integrate the human, animal, and environmental dimensions of health, its implementation reveals a plurality of visions that are often in tension. This session will address the communication challenges inherent in this approach, highlighting the strategic importance of intermediation in articulating knowledge, promoting interdisciplinary cooperation, and building a truly inclusive and sustainable global health project.

Nicolas Duracka is a lecturer in information and communication sciences at Paul Valéry University in Montpellier and works on the communication processes of actors of social change. Today, he questions the communication dynamics of actors in the One Health approach. He studies international public health as a subject undergoing profound change, considering that human health can only be guaranteed if animals and our ecosystems are healthy. Therefore, the success of this paradigm shift is dependent on improving communication between the different spheres of human, animal, and environmental health.
