Valencia978-84-09-49026-42340-1079http://hdl.handle.net/10198/28125In a global and permanently dynamic contemporary society, young people, and the student generation in particular, assume a growing responsibility for the development of a promising future, but in awareness of all social, cultural, artistic and linguistic differences, and with a necessary and definitive attitude of tolerance and inclusion. As promoters and motivators of a learning experience, the academic mobility programmes are proposed as mobilizers and builders of a European socio-cultural and civic consciousness, in a space where the various domains (social, cultural, institutional and linguistic) are the target of multidimensional processes. In order to consolidate this desired process, communication (overcoming the language barriers that may exist) and integration (accepting different socio-cultural values) in the host institutional community, are assumed as a sign of respect and individual and collective identity construction.engStudent mobilityCultural sensitivityLanguage learningExchange dialogueconference object10.21125/inted.2023
