While universities expanding the short-term study abroad programs and international mobility for their students, these were identified as a substantial contribution toward the increasingly globalisation and promotion of global citizenship values. Lately few authors considered the global citizen dimension from a learning process perspective, suggesting a model of cultural citizenship linked with transformational learning process. This paper review the literature related to citizenship identity characteristics and the benefits resulted from international mobility programs. The final purpose is to create a new research model for evaluating the impact of the international experience through study abroad programs on attaining a set of explicit skills and attitudes which direct towards the classification of a global citizen.
