En Ecuador, solo el 37 por ciento de los hogares tiene acceso a internet, lo que significa que 6 de cada 10 niños, no pueden continuar con sus estudios a través de plataformas digitales.…”

“…The ability to cooperate, that is to work in multi-ethnic, multinational teams, to be open to new working environments is one of the crucial aspects that employers consider in addition to basic training in a field. In the face of this increase in cultural and socioeconomic diversity, researchers have come up with multiple solutions to implement intercultural competency training programs for both teachers and students ( Kohli Bagwe and Haskollar, 2020 ; Peng et al, 2020 ; Romijn et al, 2021 ). Some of these refer to measuring intercultural competence before and after completing a university course ( Snodgrass et al, 2018 ), after a semester of educational exchange experience ( Dervin et al, 2020 ), others involve the use of virtual reality technology to develop intercultural competence ( Akdere et al, 2021 ) and, the ones that caught our attention, are those that use movies as a support in developing intercultural competence ( Yue, 2019 ).…”

“…The developmental model proposed by the theoretical perspective of intercultural competence has its main directions the acquisition by individuals of a global, international perspective of identity and the development of harmonious relationships with people from different cultures ( Armstrong, 2020 ). A high level of development of this competence allows the individual to select appropriate behavior, be more empathetic ( Meleady et al, 2020 ), minimize prejudice, and ethnocentrism ( Gregersen-Hermans, 2017 ), have a higher level of tolerance for ambiguity ( Romijn et al, 2021 ), manage stress more easily ( Schwarzenthal et al, 2020 ), and communicate easily in cross-cultural environments ( Stier, 2009 ). Also, when conceptualizing this term, we need to take into account the fact that today most individuals belong to diverse groups (ethnic, religious, national, occupational, etc.)…”

Cultural consumption provides numerous benefits for individuals, especially for younger generations. Imaginary travel narratives can shape people’s perceptions about other cultures thus are useful tools for developing intercultural competences. On the other hand, positive psychology provides an approach to understand different aspects of students/youngsters’ wellbeing. This study investigates the wellbeing associated with learning the meanings of being different and growing in emotional resilience, flexibility, and openness to other cultures through movies. The positive psychology approach was used to examine the benefits of movie consumption in order to investigate the activation of five domains of wellbeing: positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment (PERMA). The research methodology consisted of the experiment and questionnaire survey. The students’ scores on the wellbeing and intercultural competences were measured before and after the intervention. The intervention consisted of sessions of watching two example movies, Eat Pray Love and Hotel Transylvania 2, and subsequent group discussions about the movies’ respective messages. The participants’ group was formed by 236 university students from Brunei and Romania, ages between 18 and 49years old. The results showed an increase in students’ openness to other cultures and across some of the wellbeing PERMA dimensions. The study makes a theoretical contribution by connecting positive psychology and the intercultural competence constructs and the influences of movies.
