摘要:AbstractThe geographic position of Banat has favoured the contact with various ethnic groups and empires leading to a complex and heterogeneous demographic structure. The climate and the character of the inhabitants of Banat made many ethnic groups settle down in this area. The interculturality of Banat is based on the tolerant behaviour of the local people. The customs and the traditions in Banat are an expression of intercultural communication. The pastoral holidays are common to all the ethnic groups living in Banat, showing common occupations and respect for secular traditions. The authors reinforce the idea that efforts have to be made to make the young generation aware of the importance of the traditions in defining the cultural identity.
