In its fourth edition, Huasipichanga helped students adopt a participatory approach and talk with many of the immigrants who have chosen Cuenca as their place of residence. Using a large world map placed around the city, people could point out where they came from and share their opinions on how inclusive the city is and the aspects that could be improved. The aim was to raise awareness and promote multicultural spaces free from any kind of discrimination.
