Human mobility worldwide is transforming our societies, making them more culturally diverse. In the area of health, intercultural competence (IC) is necessary for the professional and satisfactory care of the culturally diverse population. A qualitative study involving 28 nursing students was conducted to delve into the teaching experience to train intercultural competence through flipped classroom and podcasts addressing the barriers found by migrants when accessing the health system. The goal was to identify how the combination of these pedagogical tools impacts the learning process of the IC in nursing students. Following the Kirkpatrick model to analyse the data, it points out that the reaction to training is surprising and motivating due to the fact of combining individual and collective learning, and expanding the teaching environment through the podcast. Regarding the learning of the participants, it is highlighted that the teaching experience promoted emotional and real learning improving empathy, self-evaluation and intercultural communication, which leads them to reflect on their future professional practice.
