Ethics is a dimension and of interest to contribute to developing competences in students. This dimension linked to interculturality allows students an adequate background to face the information age (Merryfield, 2003, Nieto & Bode, 2008, Wasell & Crouch, 2008). This project consisted on the creation of a virtual classroom that allowed to bring together a multidisciplinary group of students from different universities in the world, with varied cultural contexts, to work as a team.
Through a transversal element such as ethics, the participants had the opportunity to reflect on different cultural aspects. The shared activity allowed observing the impact that international experiences and virtual intercultural interaction have on the perception of cultural intelligence that students have of themselves.
