The round of meetings was opened by a university from Ecuador, which offered an intercultural dialogue on the topic of national identity formation. The hunters got acquainted with the ancient Ecuadorian legends "Catuna's Legend" and "Macaws' Legend” and discussed how the theme of national identity is revealed and implied in these legends. The chosen direction of the discussion undoubtedly contributes to the personal and intellectual growth of students, the formation of their empathy and intercultural competence. Thanks to all participants!
