Abstract

Interculturality focuses on the interaction and coexistence between diverse cultures, promoting an equitable and respectful dialogue. Contrary to ethnocentrism, interculturality recognizes the value of all cultures and seeks to enrich through the exchange of knowledge and values. Intercultural education, as a pedagogical approach, integrates cultural diversity into the educational system, using this diversity as a resource to improve the learning of all students. This approach not only benefits cultural minorities, but also prepares all students to live in a globalized world. Intercultural education contributes to the construction of more just, equitable and cohesive societies.
