Abstract

This study is part of the Education, Society and Culture Research Line and the Research Directory CNPq-PROPE/PUC Goiás Education, History, Memory and Cultures in different social spaces, under the title "Academic international mobility: PUC Goiás's youth alumni narratives". The research leading question: in which way that mobility contributed to the youth's integral formative process, this question navigated the whole research process. This is an exploratory research of a critical-qualitative nature, bibliographical, documentary and field research which had Pierre Bourdieu's comprehensive sociology in focus. Firstly, as methodological procedures, it was used the Snowball method to make contact with some alumni who were interested in being part of the research and also were part of an international mobility program, they were 16 young people; from them, 09 answered the social economic and cultural online questionnaire; then, 04 of them were interviewed for more data basis. These ones are included in these criteria: PUC Goiás graduated alumni from 2015-2022; being part of an international student mobility program for at least six months while in graduation time; being a resident or not in Goiânia city; youth from any gender. As a result, it was perceived that the differences among the alumni's economic and cultural capitals especially contributed to diverse life experiences. Nevertheless, it represented a growth concerning cultural, social, symbolic and informative capitals, transforming their habitus. The individually experienced quotidian by every student embraced all the constitutive elements of a person. Indeed, the formative process lived by the young respondents reached the formal, informal and non-formal scopes allowing a wider formation going beyond academic matters, getting into a deeper self-integral formation
