| Summary: | Introduction/Objectives: This study aims to analyze the policies and processes of internationalization at Centro Universitário Armando Alvares Penteado (FAAP), identifying the contributions to the development of interculturality and intercultural competence (IC) in the triad of teaching, research, and extension, between 2014 and 2021. Furthermore, it seeks to reflect on the internationalization actions undertaken by the institution during this period, investigating the discussion about internationalization policies and processes, considering the consolidation of the University Center and its relationship with national, regional, and international contexts, and identify actions that can enhance the development of interculturality. Methodology: The research, grounded in historical-dialectical materialism, aims to establish the uniqueness of the subject - the elaboration of judgments and concepts - employing the following data collection techniques: bibliographic and documentary research, followed by interviews with students, professors, and institution managers. Results/Conclusion: The partial results of the research reveal that FAAP's internationalization processes are well-established, as over the course of 20 years, numerous activities have been conducted, linking it with institutions and cooperation networks worldwide. The increasing significance attributed to interculturality reinforces the perspective of solidary internationalization, and it is fostered through the implementation of courses and integration activities. It is noteworthy that there is no local model explaining the acquisition of IC. Thus, we propose, with the assistance of historical-critical pedagogy, in addition to examples and cases that have occurred within the framework of the institution's internationalization, to develop a model for the acquisition of interculturality and IC. |
