With this event, the friendship, cooperation, economic and cultural exchanges will be reinforced between Switzerland and Peru. It will take place on 17 June 2006.
Through the Paso horse (horse that dances along with the Peruvian music) we would like to celebrate the tradition, history and culture from one of the most beautiful areas in the world. With this project we will be cooperating with projects of sustainable and continued development conducted by renamed NGOs like: Terre des Hommes Suisse, IRHA (International Rainwater Harvest Alliance) and Kallpa (member of the Geneva Cooperation Federation). The objective of this project is to ally pleasure, discovery and social responsibilities.
