Summary
This paper evaluates the efforts to create and implement a diversity of cultural heritage educational programs over a four-year period in the Ancash Region. The initial impetus for the development was in large part viewed as a means for obtaining community support for archaeological research projects and an increased commitment of local stewardship for cultural heritage resources. Over the four-year period, we made a decisive shift from an approach of creating products for the community to one where we worked directly with the community. We determined that a co-creative approach that prioritized the expressed needs of the community resulted in programs with an increased likelihood for being sustained increasingly by the local community. Finally, we consider on a Critical Assessment Framework as developed by Worts to evaluate the success of these programs.
