The Transitions: The Transitions Project was developed in response to conversations with the Ministry of Education and local community leaders. The main aim of the project is that young people from remote communities in Cusco (Andes Mountains) and Loreto (Amazon rainforest) are prepared for and have the capabilities needed for the next phase of their lives.
We focus on developing personal capabilities and cultural identity, broadening knowledge about options after school, environmental issues, and personal relationships and gender issues, as well as strengthening young people’s resilience.
