One of the objectives of Intercultural Learning is to help a person’s self-development. Through intercultural learning, a person is motivated to be more critical in their thinking and to have new perspective by experiencing new cultures, meeting new people, making new friends, etc. The processes allows a person to refine their views towards the world.
