Resumen

Student mobility carried out through international internships is, in the academic context, an opportunity to strengthen disciplinary knowledge, explore a particular territory and learn about cultural diversity. These formative experiences, considered through an intercultural analytical framework, are an opportunity to think about strengthening work networks and global citizenship. The Escuela Interamericana de Bibliotecología, after 65 years of existence and an inter-American character, has been a pioneer in mobility processes in its discipline; It has received professionals and students from different latitudes. This reflective article recovers the experience and gains that some of the international internships that the School has hosted have meant in recent years, which have allowed it to position itself in tune with its inter-American identity, as well as strengthen work networks in the region.
