Competências interculturais, xenofobia e discriminação

The research aimed to deepen understanding of intercultural skills in the path of interpersonal relationships that mobilize the training process considering critical social issues. To undertake critical discourse analysis, it presents a comprehensive qualitative approach and is supported by two focus groups, making it possible to understand three discursive contexts related to the issues: Brazilians, other ‘Latinos’, and Europeans. There is, then, the importance of the media, arts, literature, and even formal education in the stereotypical view of Brazil and Brazilians. It was observed that the criticism of the discourse about the decolonial approach reflects on the implicit racist expression of European students in relation to Brazil, analyzing national culture based on European reference values. The research contributes to the theme of intercultural skills to seek to expand the discussion of skills, abilities, knowledge, and attitudes to the dimension of interpersonal relationships
