The program 'Mundoculturas' is based on music and sport but, undoubtedly, it is also based on communal life. The participant boys and girls not only will dance and will practice sport and languages, that will also have to do soiree of the common values of the folklore and of the sport and that pass for a keyphrase: living together.

In Lloret de Mar boys arrived from all Europe, each with his habits, will be joined. That is why, the first that praises 'Mundoculturas' is the value of the respect for the others.
