Data analyzed for the study was collected via the distribution of a questionnaire to former Program participants, which elicited twenty responses, and through in-depth interviews conducted with four undergraduate students from Rio Grande do Sul. This study, in particular, sought to draw a correlation between academic mobility and the development of global citizenship. The experiences of the students were diverse: with participants detailing both insights gained about China and its people as a result of the Program, as well as a variety of personal developments. Whilst students identified some flaws with the Science without Borders Program, they emphasized a number of key practical benefits, including an improved proficiency in their chosen language and an enhanced understanding of their recipient country. Students also more generally noted a deepened understanding of and respect for cultural diversity and cultural differences, a broadened world view, and an elevated sense of independence and self-confidence. Above all, research revealed a strong correlation between the experience of academic mobility and the students? development of global citizenship. / Esta disserta??o buscou analisar os processos formadores que estudantes do Rio Grande do Sul viveram ao participarem do Programa Ci?ncia sem Fronteiras num pa?s como a China. Com base nos dados coletados por meio de um question?rio (vinte respostas) e de quatro entrevistas com estudantes do Rio Grande do Sul que realizaram o interc?mbio na China, a presente pesquisa analisou as experi?ncias desses participantes ga?chos em suas estadas na China via Programa CsF e revelou certas correla??es entre a mobilidade acad?mica com a forma??o da cidadania global para esses estudantes. As experi?ncias foram diversas e com muitos descobrimentos sobre o pa?s oriental e seu povo. O crescimento pessoal dos pr?prios participantes brasileiros foi um forte destaque encontrado nos relatos. Embora o CsF tenha sido criticado, de acordo com os relatos desses participantes entrevistados, a realiza??o desse interc?mbio aprimorou a sua compet?ncia lingu?stica, auxiliou o entendimento e respeito ? diversidade e ? diferen?a cultural. O conhecimento sobre o pa?s destinat?rio, ampliou a vis?o do mundo, fortaleceu a independ?ncia e aumentou a autoconfian?a para vencer seus medos. Desse modo, ? poss?vel afirmar que as experi?ncias vivenciadas no exterior possibilitaram a forma??o da cidadania global desses estudantes.
