Abstract | |||||||
Since its creation in 2001, INNOVEMOS Network (www.redinnovemos.org) has been an interactive site and permanent forum for reflection, production, exchange and dissemination of innovative educational experiences in different areas, fostering collaborative efforts for investigating, systematizing, and assessing innovations. The comparative study of more than 50 experiences developed in Latin America related to cultural diversity and two case studies, show the close entailment of transformative pedagogical practices, the mutual strengthen given from educational community to local community and vice versa, and understand the relevant role of the State as a guarantor, encourager and holder of quality public education. The meaningful contribution of these experiences lies on their acknowledgement and value given to individual, family and community cultural diversity; it is the point of departure for new learnings and identity assertion. In turn, schools promote intercultural relations based on respect and fraternity, developed in a social context local and sub regional characterized by multiculturality. |
