Political Culture and Cultural Diversity Project

"Political Culture and Cultural Diversity Project" was a binational project implemented between 2009 and 2012 by the Citizenship Organization in Bolivia and the Manuela Ramos Organization in Peru. In Bolivia, it was carried out in the high and central valleys of Cochabamba with the purpose of promoting intercultural political dialogue to strengthen an inclusive democracy, the observance of human rights and the strengthening of citizenship based on the recognition and respect of cultural diversity. The beneficiary population of the project were Quechua women. The main result was to disseminate and put into practice the concepts developed by these women to be included in the standards and training processes of intercultural democracy.
