Presentation: Mexican pedagogical dialogs: Toward ancestral wisdoms and cultural diversity
The teaching and learning processes today are influenced by a series of civilizational crises. It is thus necessary to recover ancestral practices and knowledge that allowed us to have a relationship of greater care for all of life. Three Mexican experts on Indigenous knowledge and education share their practical experiences related to engaging Indigenous knowledge from their region, Totonacapan, Veracruz. Their projects have won awards despite institutional barriers and lack of resources. Their work inspires teachers to make connections with communities that are often overlooked but have a lot to teach us.
