Mobility and intercultural learning

Mobility programmes are promoted as unique opportunities for building up language competence and strengthening intercultural understanding. The popularity of mobility programmes today is also due to easier access to such initiatives (in particular through EU programmes) and administrative support provided by institutions in students’ own countries.

Yet despite general recognition of the value and educational importance of mobility programmes there seems to be potential for improving the success of study abroad experiences.
