Abstract: Global Virtual Teams are being increasingly employed in organizations worldwide, a trend that has been strengthened by the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns. We present the X-Culture Project, a large-scale cross-border collaborative project designed to provide students with a first-hand experience of international collaboration through work in GVTs on an international business consulting project. We review the advantages and overall organization of this experiential learning-based project, as well as potential challenges - and best practices to minimize their impact on participants ´ experience and satisfaction - associated with cultural, language, and time-zone differences, social loafing, plagiarism, peer-evaluation collusion, and cyberstalking.
