In the paper it is emphasized that in a globalised world intercultural experiences
become almost integral part of daily routines of people of almost all ages, and therefore almost change
the culture as more traditional societies used to know it. Interculturalism is defined as an active
process that implies interaction among members in a culturally diverse environment. Therefore
educators have to start to consider the possibilities to help students (in this paper the context of higher
education is analysed) to reflect on their cultures, their cultural identities, and the perception of other
people, whom they will be meeting more often in a globalised world. Therefore in this paper results of
an empiric study on the students opinions what are their experiences and feelings in other countries
and cultures, what they feel they learnt living abroad, are presented.
