Intercultural Dialogue: Strengthening the Relationship between Indigenous Primary Schools and Their Communities through the Resignification of Traditional Knowledge in Central Veracruz, Mexico

Abstract

This article presents a project implemented between 2015–2019 using a collaborative approach with indigenous primary schools in the municipality of Rafael Delgado, located in central Veracruz, Mexico. In the context of a Nahuatl-speaking, semi-rural community, the project illustrates the processes through which intercultural dialogue promotes the resignification of local identity and the strengthening of social cohesion, thus engaging both the school and the members of the community in social participation processes.
