B) Art and community project: Art school in the Amazon Jungle. The main focus of this project is the development of the “popular art” in the rural areas linked with the Amazon Jungle environments. It began in 2003 with the creation of the “School of Art” for native teens and kids of the Amazon River Community of Puerto Miguel. The project applies basic principles of the Andean and Native philosophy for the conservation of the natural environment.
