Preserving Heritage Through Co-Creative Engagement Colca Valley

In collaboration with Casa Cultural Colca and the Escuela Secundaria, I.E. N° 40382 “Virgen de Chapi,” the grant recipient encouraged students and community members to realize that there are many ways of preserving their heritage, including through oral histories, which was the focus of this project.
