Resum:	This paper describes a pilot project designed to help student teachers explore the ways in which their cultural beliefs are linked to wider social and institutional relationships. Through reflection and experiential learning, the student teachers were made aware of the fact that their beliefs have a direct effect on the way in which their students are "socialised" by their teaching processes. As a result of theoretical and empirical exploration, future teachers became more critically aware of their general perspectives about social issues, increased their intercultural competence and learnt teaching strategies which can eventually be transferred to teaching of citizenship. The project, which involved eight partners in six different countries, allowed 160 teacher trainees to undergo intensive teaching practice in a foreign country, while at the same time participating in a programme aimed at improving their intercultural competences and understanding of what it means to be a citizen in today's world.
