Looking Back, Looking Forward: Passing on Andean Values to
Younger Generations
We want to be explicitly inclusive, so that people of different ages, at different life stages and of different walks of life can participate. We wish to foster interpersonal and intergenerational relationships that are the basis to preserve our cultural heritage within our community, including the values of family life and sharing that we treasure.

”Tradition is, against traditionalists’ desires, alive and in movement. It is created by those who deny it, only to renew and enrich it.”
