Hence, the directional effect of the authorial position of the Festival participants, which is considered in humanitarian paradigm and can be seen through employing professional (and, if thinking big, life) experience of each other in order to find similar ideas, sympathy and help. Humanitarian character of the meeting between the teacher and the moderator, which constitutes further training and assigns pedagogical meaning to their meeting, has been disclosed.
