Rangdum’s youth could very well become its “curators”: who better than they to safeguard the local culture? From the classroom to the village, working for community development–as well as for its culture and environment–could improve conditions for everyone.

The school could be a starting point for workshops that would put into practice techniques for bettering quality of life: solar electricity, techniques for agriculture at 4000 meters, preservation and restoration of the area’s artistic and monumental heritage, as well as its library.

The young people of Rangdum could also learn to value and improve upon the local traditional building techniques that are far superior to the inadequate “modern” constructions marring the landscape which are not only totally inappropriate for the region but also worsen living conditions.

All of this knowledge, inspired and directed towards the conservation and respect for the local heritage, can offer new opportunities for work in a region where jobs are currently non-existent.
