In addition to deepening our relationship with Minga Peru and the Amazonian communities, our goals for this trip are:
🌱 To understand youth leadership from the young leader´s perspective in the communities
🌱 To learn how youth leaders are committed to climate resilience efforts in the context of the Amazon, and how they approach living in harmony with the environment
🌱 To formulate our own understanding of the Minga Peru model and how that might inform the work we do in our own community in Lincoln, Nebraska
🌱 To reflect on how our learnings from the trip will be useful in our personal lives
After an unforgettable week, we’ll return to Lima. From there, travelers can either fly home or extend their journey to explore more of Peru.
This is an incredible opportunity to deepen our connection with Minga Peru and experience firsthand the life-changing work they are doing in the Amazon. Spots are limited—reserve yours today!
