Short-term (2 to 4 weeks) "arts project" project in Peru

The project is going take place in Pucallpa's Youth Centre.
It will allow the local adolescents to develop their potential and their aptitudes through appropriate educational activities, with positive social, moral and spiritual values, needed for their development as human beings.
This project will allow volunteers to have a clear understanding about sustainable development. During it, volunteers will be in frequent contact with nature developing a workcamp with local people; this will give volunteers a chance to improve their conscience of our planet, together with the local children, youths and adults, all participating in communal work for the benefit of the community.

The main objective of this workcamp is to share different activities with the youth in the centre, in different sorts of tasks such as farm management; small mammals, worms, bees and fish breeding; computers and carpentry workshops; as well as artistic workshops in music, dances and theatre. All this promoting a healthy and natural lifestyle that teaches how to protect the environment in a daily basis.
