Blog 8: A subject you enjoyed studying this semester

Hello everyone, today I will tell you about my favorite subject this semester

UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage
of Humanity: "Bailes Chinos" 

My favorite class is called Intangible Heritage, it is a transversal that is given in the FAU and is very interesting. During the class, the teacher presents a ppt (power point) and goes ask us questions about the subject, we also watch videos and read essays on intangible heritage and Chilean identity, it is a very fun class and where you learn a lot about the customs and traditions of the peoples who live in all regions of Chile.

Some of the topics discussed in the class are fairs and markets of Chile, traditional games, religious ceremonies that take place in the country and myths and legends. Now the professor made us create a work (atlas, story, comic) that talks about a topic and can be presented to children so that they learn more didactically about intangible heritage in Chile.

I think it's my favorite subject because I've learned a lot about the Chilean identity present in the country and about the different ways it has to manifest itself, plus the teacher always tries to get us to relate the content to our career and it is very interesting.
