As national borders are now increasingly blurred due to globalization, the capacity to relate to otherness has become ever more pressing to ensure a successful engagement within the global community. This paper traced the voices of eighteen international students (coming from Belgium, China, the Philippines, Mexico, Myanmar, Singapore, Timor Leste and Thailand) and two Indonesian students regarding their involvement in a two-week virtual Summer Program held by our university. The program, aimed at facilitating intercultural understanding between nationalities and ethnic affiliations, exposed students—through literary and pop culture texts—to various sociocultural and political issues in contemporary Indonesia. In so doing, the students were invited to compare how similar issues were experienced and perceived in their own contexts. Using questionnaire and reflective essays as means for collecting data, the students’ intercultural experiences were framed within Moran’s (2001) phases of cultural knowings and Byram’s (1997) intercultural communicative competence. The findings indicated that the Summer Program was successful in proving students with positive intercultural experiences, and it should thus be sustained in the spirit of interculturalism.
