Technology and Environment Laboratory Mencoriari / Semillas

The project: "Mencoriari Technological and Environmental Laboratory" is located in the native community of Mencoriari, in Peru’s central jungle. The project has created a complementary educational space that is an alternative to traditional classrooms. The proposal was developed through a classroom workshop and a space that preserves knowledge about plants and the forest that is thousands of years old. The beneficiaries and protagonists of the project are 58 students and 67 families from the community where the project is located, as well as 3 families from the surrounding communities. The project fuses architectural areas with pedagogical areas with the objective of promoting spaces adapted to the location. These spaces promote teaching which focuses on the value of the jungle and its environmental and cultural worth. The project also helps the school’s graduates be better prepared to take to local job offers.
