The app’s acceptance was evaluated using the NPS (Net
Promoter Score) method with participants, allowing us to
measure their satisfaction and likelihood to recommend it.
The satisfaction level of the implemented application
called “OUR MINERAL WORLD” was evaluated using
the Net Promoter Score (NPS) scale, based on five closed-
ended questions. The results show that questions 1, 2, 4,
and 5 reached an acceptable level, while question 3 showed
a regular level. The overall average satisfaction score was
17.21, calculated from the anonymous responses of 300
participants. See Appendix 1.
The overall average of the responses gives us an accep-
tance score of 17 out of 20.
DISCUSSION
The results of our study show that the project has a pos-
itive impact on changing perceptions about mining, among
participants of different ages and backgrounds.
The Building Our project increased the average of
the Likert scale, according to the scale and the results, it
increased from 970 (value 2) to 2681 (value 5), which rep-
resents a large number of people who changed their percep-
tion about mining responsible and sustainable.
The annual increase in participants compared to 2022
and 2024 (Figure 3) is a positive indicator for our project,
since we noticed people’s interest in learning about respon-
sible mining, which has allowed us to implement more
sessions and involve to more volunteers and professionals
from the mining industry to continue meeting the objec-
tives of the Project.
In the results obtained according to the origin of the
participants, the rural area, which is the area of direct influ-
ence of the mining projects in Cajamarca, represents a
greater number of participants than the urban area.
This motivates us to continue inspiring new genera-
tions in rural areas and they see that opportunities are also
within their reach and that they take an active part in posi-
tive change in their communities.
Part of our objective is to be able to impact a greater
number of students, by the year 2024, for this we have
decided to set a goal of impacting 50% more participants
compared to the year 2023, this represents a total of 180
participants of increase. For 2024, we reached the goals by
November.
In addition, we are developing the plan to move the
days to other places and events where there is massive atten-
dance of people, as well as taking advantage of the time not
only during school time but also during vacations by hold-
ing summer workshops for children, adolescents and their
parents, opening thus an opportunity to impact a greater
number of adults.
CONCLUSIONS
In this study, we evaluate the impact of the Building Our
Future Project, which seeks to improve the perception of
mining in Cajamarca, Peru.
Over the past 3 years, the Building Our Future Project
has seen a notable 46% increase in participation compared
to the previous year. This growth reflects people’s growing
interest in understanding the reality of responsible mining.
The presence of women in these workshops has reached
43% of the total attendees, which allows us to work on
gender equality in a diverse environment. This change is
significant, since previously, due to myths or beliefs, the
active participation of women in the mining sector and in
these issues was considered impossible.
The analysis of the distribution by age, in Figure 5,
reveals an increase in the interest of teachers and parents in
joining and deepening their knowledge about responsible
mining. This indicator reflects the need and importance of
educating not only children and adolescents, but also the
adults responsible for their training.
We managed to share the project through this detailed
report so that it can be replicated and/or improved for its
application in places with social conditions similar to our
region and thus achieve the impulse and development of
responsible mining that allows building a sustainable and
sustainable future in each city and country.
