This chapter examines intercultural learning as it occurs at a series of music camps known as ‘Ethno’ gatherings. Data include post-hoc analysis of 114 interviews of participants conducted 2019-2021, and 14 interviews of Ethno organizers and artistic mentors conducted in spring 2021. Theoretically, the chapter is informed by Appadurai's (1990) concept of the ethnoscape, Appiah's (2010) writing on cosmopolitanism, and Allport's (1954) contact hypothesis (i.e., intergroup contact theory). Three themes are discussed: intergroup contact, artistic mentors, and culture as political. The chapter concludes that, despite their innumerable conceptual difficulties and contradictions, Ethno gatherings leave most participants with positive feelings about intercultural peace and harmony.

Keywords: cosmopolitanism ; cultural identity ; ethnoscape ; intercultural learning ; intergroup contact theory ; traditional music
