Through the achievements obtained by the Pabellón
Minero Infantil project, which is part of the inspiration to
create the project “Building our future” that aims to change
the perspective about mining in the new generations of
our region, we being protagonists of mining in Cajamarca
observed the need for an educational space for children and
adolescents from different educational institutions where
they can talk about mining from the experience of suc-
cessful professionals in the field, through games and other
activities according to age promoting a culture of equality
and respect in mining.
The objective of the project is to change the perspec-
tive on mining in the new generations and inspire them to
achieve their dreams, and build their future in the sciences
and develop professionally in the mining sector contribut-
ing to the development of our country.
We have been developing the project since April
2022 in Cajamarca, Peru in the facilities of the Museo de
Agua y Tierra (MAT).
This increased awareness drives companies to invest in
sustainable mining initiatives, ensuring they meet consumer
expectations and maintain their social license to operate
(Rasoulinezhad &Taghizadeh- Hesary, 2022 Agrawal et
al., 2023).
METHODS
In this chapter we dare to know our project activities car-
ried out using the Deming cycle methodology.
Deming Cycle Methodology
The Deming cycle methodology consists of four steps (Plan,
Do, Check, Act). This approach has provided us with a
sequential structure for our activities, facilitating planning,
execution, monitoring and continuous improvement of our
actions (Illanes, et al. 2022). (Figure 1).
Following the stages of the Deming cycle we have:
Plan
In this phase, meetings were held with the organizations
of the SME UNC Student Chapter, Newmont Yanacocha,
BRG Women and Allies and ALAC Yanacocha (Museo de
Agua y Tierra facilities). In this section we considered:
• The structuring of the “Building Our Future” project.
• Development of the project.
• Determination of the target audience.
• Activities to be developed in each day.
Do
In this phase, the planned activities were carried out the
activities in Figure 2.
Admission
Data verification and attendance of participants from the
different institutions.
Reception
All attendees are welcomed, and a form is filled out (entrance
survey) to learn about their perception of mining before the
day’s activities. In addition, groups are created and led by a
volunteer for the tour in the different environments.
Distribution
The groups start their tour in each interactive environ-
ment (duration 20 min), which are alternated until passing
through all the rooms.
Interactive Room
In this environment, activities on the earth, space, the
water cycle, minerals, electricity conductivity and various
interactive activities are developed, always guided by the
volunteers responsible for the group.
