PERU / Kaya Responsible Travel
Volunteer in Peru and work on a fascinating project which combines the resurrection of traditional cultural Inca jewellery making techniques with a social initiative in the city of Cusco. Young adults from disadvantaged communities are being given apprenticeships to learn the ancient techniques of their Incan ancestors, providing them valuable skills and an income while ensuring the skill never dies out. The workshop looks to sell the pieces it makes to sustain its work and is looking to attract the tourists in Cusco to see their craft.
Volunteers will focus on developing physical material that can be used to provide guided tours of the workshop and explain the techniques being used. Volunteers who can stay longer than 2 weeks will spend time learning the techniques themselves in order to write ‘guidebooks’ to explain the processes and provide support in the workshop tours.
