Executive Summary
Drawing on ethnographic research methods, this study unpacks the experiences and personal impacts of the participants. Ethno camps provide their participants with liminal space, which can be understood as a means
for self-growth and intercultural learning and represent some of the key factors in participants’ desires to attend further camps. Such environments however, can also be a struggle, especially for the first-timers. Ways of learning within the camp can be understood as the combined result of ritualesque and carnivalesque characteristics that the participants experience through transformative individual changes and play.
