Abstract
This study proposes a narrative analysis aiming at understanding through a personal experience of an Erasmus+ student hosted by a Higher Education Institution in Portugal how the principles stated by academic hospitality act as an enabler of positive behaviour leading to Service-Learning. The multicultural approach is also a key element for this study, the personal story will be used as a source for understanding how openness to integrate into a new welcoming cultural context could further develop the individual from an observer to an active benevolent participant into the new academic frame he is exposed to. The present article examines how openness for cultural and linguistic immersion is a key element in stimulating a reciprocally advantageous exchange of ideas leading to a better adjustment of the visitor and of the host in terms of contribution and scientific enrichment.
