Summary/Abstract: The present paper investigates the process of internationalisation as a form of institutional learning in Hungarian-language schools in Romania, based on case studies conducted at the Benedek Elek Pedagogical Lyceum of Székelyudvarhely and the József Attila Elementary School of Csíkszereda. The research conducted in the framework of an Erasmus+ project (2024-1-HU01-KA220-HED-000248326 OKTAV) aims to examine the impact of internationalisation approaches on the professional development of those involved in different international programmes, particularly concerning the development of English communication and digital competences, as well as on the organizational and curricular dynamics of the institutions. Although the two schools under scrutiny show different internationalisation tendencies (one privileging cross-border relations with Hungarian communities, emphasizing the identity component, the other adopting an integrative European strategy), it is unanimously agreed that internationalisation in pre-university education contributes significantly to the consolidation of a European educational culture and to the formation of a multilateral perspective on the educational act, especially in multi-ethnic and multilingual contexts. Despite the current shortcomings of this process within the Romanian education system (such as limited financial and human resources, administrative difficulties, and language barriers), the openness towards international trends is growing, and internationalisation is increasingly becoming a sustainable institutional development strategy.
