The 5 Parques Bibliotecas are state of the art spaces with internet rooms, reading lounges, theaters, and outdoor open plazas with 360° views of the Andes mountains encircling the city down below. They have been built in communities that had been isolated from educational resources. Now, they are where community learns, socializes and finds moments of quiet peace. They are a space open to everybody. Students will work on two projects: Culture and Arts Project and an Historical Memory Project. Drawing upon their individual skill-sets, students will collaborate with the Parques Bibliotecas to share their expertise and passion by giving community workshops teaching others their skill. Historical Memory Project will help communities not traditionally represented in official histories record their own historical record in their own words.
