Intercultural training spaces of Indigenous Higher Education in towns in southern Colombia

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to establish a debate on the processes of intercultural education and training spaces in the teaching of natural sciences or care and protection of Mother Earth, the bibliographic review focused on freely accessible documents from which the interpretation and documentary analysis of them was carried out. The political-organizational processes that the communities of southern Colombia have been strengthening to position their own education as the main pillar for the vindication and legitimization of ancestral and cultural knowledge are highlighted and the importance of consolidating guidelines that guide intercultural education as a process that involves society in general and not only as a competence of indigenous peoples is identified, since the homogenization of education has been one of the main reasons for the weakening or disappearance of peoples and cultures.
