Unesco Project Historic Centre of Cajamarca
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The project’s main objective is to work on the restoration of various edifices throughout Cajamarca. Volunteers will work on restoring a historical house, repurposing it as a museum of culture, representational of the World Heritage site. Furthermore, the local community will be made more aware of their cultural heritage and the importance of preserving such a place.
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers will take part in activities ranging from educating local youth regarding the importance of their cultural heritage, through organized tours in the site, to societal exchanges centred around music and various other forms of art. Some of the more hands-on activities will focus on the renovation and preservation of the site; in a collaborative effort, volunteers, the School of Restoration, and the local government will renovate and clean an ancient building. Participants in this activity will also gain first-hand knowledge pertaining to various stone-cutting, carpentry, gardening, cooking, blacksmithing and archaeological techniques used in the site.
