Intercultural education is specific to the multicultural environment in Europe. The European focus on intercultural education is reflected in the documents, reports and measures taken through various financially supported projects. This article presents a research on the characterization of entrepreneurial potential in the case of an intercultural group of Romanian and Serbian trainees who became the target of a cross-border project between Romania and Serbia.

The Romanian school is trying to achieve the intercultural competences both in a direct way (the social – humanities subjects)and indirectly (the others subjects). One hundred students attended the course of intercultural education and filled out a questionnaire regarding psychosocial attitudes or behaviours. They identified formative effects of attending an intercultural education course such as: tolerance/empathy, training skills of cooperation/ teamwork/ adjustment to new situations, promoting interculturality, knowledge and understanding of other cultures. From a practical point of view, the recommendation is the introduction of the intercultural education course both at pre-university and university level, in the national curriculum, for all study programs
