Intercultural Education and Student Mobility
Intercultural Education and Student Mobility

Summary/Abstract: Student mobility programs grew in recent years more and more popular and, from an institutional point of view, they have been integrated in the sphere of public policies that touch the sensitive subject of intercultural education. The most popular project of this type is the ERASMUS program for students, which as well as being a part of a larger European scheme concerning the development of a labor force adapted to a flexible and globalized market, has developed over the years a certain image among the European public. This collective representation of the ERASMUS program can be summed up: the mobility experience offers the possibility of self-development (concerning personal, academic, cultural and/or social aspects) in an intercultural social space. Relying on empirical data, the present paper underlines various aspects regarding intercultural education, as it is lived by students who participate in the ERASMUS program.
