Abstract
The principles of the Educational Project of the Surcolombiana University, propose to create the conditions that contribute to a better coexistence in a multicultural environment. Accordingly, the objective of this research is to evaluate an integration strategy proposed by the Infant Education program, in order to achieve a closer relationship with citizens of other countries and cultures. Through questionnaires, students' perceptions of the relationship between these activities and the achievement of institutional principles were collected. The results show that the activity that students most relate to the assimilation and understanding of these principles is dance, while learning a second language was the most weakly associated activity.
