Integral ecology and interculturality : which representations and experiences in University students? = Sostenibilidad e interculturalidad : representaciones y experiencias en estudiantes universitarios

The aim of this study is based on the qualitative analysis of the results of a research project, carried out between 2020 and 2021, concerning the representations and experiences of sustainability and intercul- turality of a sample of students belonging to three Salesian universities (IUSVE of Venice Mestre, IUSTO of Turin, CES Don Bosco- Madrid) of the degrees of Pedagogy, Psychology, Communication and Education. On the basis of a previously applied and separate questionnaire on the research topic, general guidelines for its implementation and clarification were formulated using other research techniques such as inter- views and focus groups. The outcomes of the research showed a specific attention of the “Millennials” on issues related to the environment, climate change, environmental volunteering, and advocacy. The influence of the media and social networks on the information-education plan in terms of sustainability and multi/interculturality is highlighted. The work done recognizes the influence of digital technologies and social media on multi/intercultural issues. Finally, we would like to emphasize that the constant scientific dialogue between the researchers in all phases of the research, besides being fruitful, has opened up a particularly valuable horizon of intercultural exchange and networking.
