Abstract
Objective: To report the experience lived by nursing students, discussing the perspective of cultural diversity, and the importance of cross-cultural nursing. Experience report: The activity was developed on October 9, 2018, in an educational institution at a technical professional level, located in a municipality in the state of Pará. Its starting point was the distribution of a self-evaluation survey in which an attempt was made to diagnose the students' prior knowledge on the subject, after this first moment the booklet that portrays nursing care for the riverside people was presented. In a third moment, we started reflections with the students about the importance of this knowledge both for the students of the faculty proposing the activity and for the students who were the target of the intervention. Final considerations: Playful actions aimed at the debate on cultural diversity as well as on transcultural nursing are extremely necessary to enable nursing professionals to provide culturally competent care and to meet the needs encompassing the users' way of life.
