Introdução: As empresas multinacionais procuram graduados com um espectro alargado de competências que incluem a conhecimento de outras culturas e o domínio de mais do que um idioma (Jones, 2013). Segundo Alred, Byram e Fleming (2003), a educação deve promover “um sentido de interculturalidade, uma competência intercultural” (p. 6) através de um processo dinâmico, iterativo, transformador de atitudes, competências e conhecimento, permitindo a comunicação e interação eficaz e apropriada entre culturas (Freeman et al., 2009).
Objetivos: Foi conduzido um estudo de caso com o objetivo de compreender a relevância da metodologia de aprendizagem ativa de um programa de educação para o empreendedorismo no desenvolvimento das competências interculturais dos alunos.
Métodos: Dada a natureza exploratória do estudo, optou-se pela implementação de um estudo qualitativo, baseado em entrevistas semi-estruturada aos alunos inscritos no programa Learning To Be, com o intuito de recolher as perspetivas dos estudantes relativamente à participação no programa. Foi, ainda, implementado um questionário com o intuito de perceber quais as competências que os alunos consideravam ter sido desenvolvidas no âmbito daquela participação.
Resultados: Os resultados demonstraram que i) os alunos avaliaram de forma positiva a metodologia de aprendizagem experimental; ii) as competências de comunicação intercultural aumentaram; iii) a abertura para trabalhar em contextos multiculturais é mais elevada.
Conclusões: A análise das respostas recolhidas sugere que os estudantes reconhecem a relevância das competências interculturais para o seu futuro percurso profissional e realçaram a adequação da metodologia utilizada no programa de educação para o empreendedorismo para o seu, respetivo, desenvolvimento. Igualmente, os estudantes enfatizaram o impacto do programa nas competências de comunicação intercultural e empreendedoras que poderão contribuir para aumentar a sua empregabilidade.
