CRAMSA and the Calama Museum Join Forces to Promote Local Historical Heritage

Thanks to the agreement, more students from the Antofagasta Region will be able to participate in the “The Museum Visits Your School” program, which travels through the area disseminating valuable educational content about the rich past of the region.

“We are proud of this collaboration that strengthens our commitment to heritage preservation and dissemination as part of one of the strategic pillars of our community engagement. What better way to start than by focusing on the children and young people of the region?”

In this way, Hugo Lecaros, Corporate Affairs Manager of CRAMSA, highlighted the recent agreement signed with the Natural History Museum of Calama, which will contribute to the local dissemination of the geological past and paleontological heritage of Calama and its surroundings.

The agreement supports the development of the “The Museum Visits Your School” Program, which, in an interactive way, visits schools and cultural centers in the city of Calama, inland towns, and cities of the region, providing educational and cultural content.

For Osvaldo Rojas, Director of the Museum and Heritage area of the Calama Culture and Tourism Corporation, promoters of the initiative, “this constitutes a significant contribution to maintaining the collections of the program that will allow us to continue traveling through the region with this delivery of education, culture, and knowledge of the territory.”

Heritage Dissemination

The first milestone of the agreement took place at Caracoles G-101 School in Sierra Gorda, where students interacted with various fossils and paleoecological reconstructions, among others, which were explained in a dynamic and educational manner.

“It is always very enriching for our students and the community in general to learn about the history of the territory and its surroundings,” highlighted Eva Lefimil, educator at Caracoles Educational Complex.

For her part, Soraya Aramayo, head of the Sierra Gorda Cultural Foundation, emphasized the importance of the collaboration between private companies and the public sector. “We are immensely grateful for these synergies that contribute to the education and learning of our history,” she stated.
