Completely free sports and culture workshops for children

"Academia PETROPERU" is the name of a unique program implemented by the state oil company in areas surrounding its Conchan Refinery, which seeks to promote sports among children.

In total there are more than 80 children from neighboring neighborhoods, who have fun and learn in football and volleyball classes, by experienced teachers, which reinforce -among children- the values of teamwork, teaching discipline and responsibility; all this within the framework of the PETROPERÚ Social Responsibility Program.

The Company promotes sport in this way and simultaneously seeks to reduce the levels of violence in the area, through spaces of healthy entertainment, as part of the commitment to the development of the country's children.

The "Academia PETROPERU", implemented since April, also contributes to integrate parents in the performance of their children and aims to be a seed for new athletes, having already made the first sports championship, promoting healthy competition among minors

FREE THEATER WORKSHOP

Another of the programs developed by PETROPERU in favor of children from neighboring neighborhoods is the "Program for the Development of Personality through Theater", which is carried out for the third consecutive year and has a great objective: to contribute to training integral of the smallest through tools that allow them to improve their self-esteem and strengthen their family ties. The program includes psychological talks with parents.

This year there are more than 30 children who participate in practical sessions every Saturday, led by a theater teacher and a psychologist, who - with theoretical-practical classes - seek to contribute to the development of each participant in fun dynamics. The theater workshop also seeks to strengthen children's memory, concentration and creativity, skills that are reinforced through exercises that will undoubtedly enhance their commitment in the personal field.

This way, PETROPERU strengthens its bonds with the community that surrounds its operations; in this case with the children of the AAHH of Villa El Salvador, contributing to the recreation and training of the youngest.
