[online]. 2020, vol.25, n.53, pp.253-274.  Epub 12-Maio-2020. ISSN 2318-1982.  https://doi.org/10.20435/serie-estudos.v0i0.1400.

Internationalization through mobility is dominant in the Latin American context. However, three trends affect directly their progress: 1) the small number of foreign students choosing Latin America as the place of study; 2) the lack of national and institutional strategic policies for internationalization of Higher Education Institutions, and 3) lack of resources for sending local students abroad. Thus, it’s necessary to broaden the perspective of mobility, seeking alternatives that reach a wider public and bring benefits to all society. This paper aims to understand how the experience of Brazilian students, who made mobility, was used in the local context of their home institutions. The methodology is characterized as qualitative. Interviews were conducted with students from private Higher Education Institutions and the analyses were produced with the principles of Discursive Textual Analysis (ATD). The results point to the students interest in sharing their experiences developed aboard. However, there is a lack of organizational strategies to use the skills acquired by students in their mobility experiences.
