Mongolia
The nation of nomads
Details of the Program
Mongolia Cultural Exchange Program is a brand-new activity of UNi. With the lowest population density in the world, Mongolian people nowadays still adopt the nomadic lifestyle. The resistance to urbanization is a remarkable and unusual social phenomenon which is worthwhile to study and appreciate. You can always feel the atmosphere of traditions left by the glorious ages of Mongol Empire under the great Genghis Khan in 13th Century.
