Culture and society are intrinsically linked, influencing and shaping each other. Culture, understood as the set of values, beliefs, norms, traditions, art, and expressions shared by members of a society, provides the framework within which society develops.
In this context, this book aims to describe the outcomes achieved in key events that reflect the mutual interaction and influence between academia and the community. From the “Masquerades in Azogues, Taita Carnival, Political Debate of the Candidates for Mayor of Azogues, and the Cato Duathlon Competition,” it presents a deep dialogue that allows for a better understanding of our society and how it evolves.
