Abstract. The article summarizes the experience of participating and conducting ethnographic expeditions, presents materials related to the peculiarities of working in the "field" and their role in the formation and development of professional identity / professional culture of students, identifies the methods of the "field", shows the priorities in the expedition work. The problem of communication between the researcher and informants, the establishment of a special personal connection and friendly beginnings in relationships predetermined by the very ethics of work in the "field", does not lose its relevance for ethnologists – practitioners. The experience of the ethnographic expedition is reflected in the collective memory and leaves an impression, first of all, expressed in the desire to meet again, recall the days of work spent together, discuss the most entertaining stories. Such memorization not only forms and develops professional culture, including the culture of a novice researcher, but also becomes a part of this culture itself.
Keywords: ethnography, anthropology, identity, student, expedition, informant.
