Peru: Social Impact in the Community – Royal Holloway

Become a Global Citizen in Peru as you immerse yourself in the local culture of the Sacred Valley, inspiring local children to speak English so they can get better jobs in the tourism sector. Then, how about a sunrise trek to Machu Picchu?

Challenge Snapshot

You’ll help children in Urubamba develop English, STEAM and life skills. Your contribution will last far beyond those two weeks, because being able to speak English is a game-changer for children here – it means unlike many of the country’s poor and illiterate, they can access good jobs and a bright future.

Challenge Overview

You’ll be working on a range of projects that help improve education quality at our partner schools in Urubamba. These could include running life skills workshops that build children’s confidence and encourage transferable skills like problem solving, conflict resolution and teamwork. You’ll be delivering conversational English lessons that will increase the children’s opportunities for further education and well-paying jobs later in life. You’ll also be running STEAM workshops that encourage experimentation and innovation.

Your workshops will teach children important skills like critical thinking, problem solving and teamwork that will engage them in their education and help reduce drop-out rates.
