This publication, which is the second volume of the collection, is the result of analysis and reflection on a series of innovative educational experiences from several Latin American countries, which respond with pedagogical relevance to the students' cultural context and offer an education oriented towards knowledge, understanding and dialogue between people of different cultures. The significant contribution of the aforementioned experiences lies in the recognition and appreciation of the ethnic and cultural diversity of its students and communities, as a starting point for the development of new learning and affirmation of their identity. In turn, life in educational centers promotes intercultural relations of respect and fraternity in a local and subregional sociogeographic context, characterized by multiculturalism.
