ferria de culturas

This week at the training center, we put on a culture fair. All of the language classes were assigned a department (region) in Peru to research. My group researched La Libertad, (a department famous for La Marinera Norteña (a dance), and winning Peru’s liberty). The fair was an opportunity for all of the trainees to learn about the country, as well as practice planning ways to teach about a theme with non-formal education.

A group of us were also asked to participate in a dance. Those of you who know me know I was all about that! After many hours of practice last week, we performed an Afro-Peruvian dance from the department of Ica. We had a drummer and a guitarist accompany us. It was a lot of fun! Definitely one of my favorite parts of training so far.
