Abstract:	Multiculturalism in descriptive-demographic perspective has to do with the existence of different races and ethnicities within a society, a mix that generates social meanings derived from differences perceived by individuals. Foreign children and adolescents living in another country, facing elements of a new culture, challenge their daily activities to adapt to society and school. It is through acculturation that individuals react to intercultural contact. When acculturation process is experienced in a positive way, it promotes the enhancement of some competences. Some studies have shown that creative performance is more advanced in multicultural individuals with high levels of acculturation. In this regard, this study aimed at investigating the relation between creativity and characteristics of international living experience and of school experience in multicultural children and adolescents. Research was conducted in two steps. Thirty-nine children and adolescents who had already lived in at least two countries participated in the first step. Next, data was collected from their parents, who numbered 48 individuals. Three instruments were used to collect such data: Short Acculturation Scale, Test of Children’s Figural Creativity and survey. Results indicated creative performance above average of multicultural youth, fostered by Emotional and Cognitive Aspects. Most part of the sample had high levels of acculturation and adopted integrative and assimilation acculturation strategies, meaning that in some cases the group took in the foreign culture while maintained its own and, in other cases, neglected its cultural roots. Participants with higher levels of acculturation were significantly more creative than those with lower levels. Moreover, youth that had already returned home after international living experience had higher index of creativity than those living abroad during the study. The results suggest that international temporary transits can be more beneficial to creativity than permanent immigration. School, family and social network ranked higher as factors facilitating the adaptation. School transition was influenced by aspects such as: pedagogical policy, relationship with teachers and classmates, school environment and calendar and curriculum variations. The importance of parent’s support was highlighted as a means to maintain home culture and facilitate the process of local adaptation. It is hoped that this study can further bolster the interest of Brazilian researchers in regards to creativity of multicultural children and adolescents and contribute to the advancement of strategic policies towards acculturation in various contexts, especially in schools.
