Mobilities will take place when a cultural event will happen Traditions and their observance rule years and months. They have a direct impact on individuals and on the rythm of their life.They build a life experience shared by everyone. They are present everywhere and offer a lot of possibilities to exchange experiences and opinions, to communicate but also to learn about ourselves and the others.
