Integrative Project of Converging Knowledge of Sustainability, with Focus on Migratory Processes, Pest Management and Practices of Traditional Medicine in an Educational Model of Interculturality

This paper contributes to the current debate on sustainability and interculturality, supported on practices carried out in community linkage, practices that were based on the model of intercultural education in Mexico, in which students and research teachers take part, building a dialogue of scientific knowledge and traditional insight, which converge towards a project that integrates communities and identities. We talk about a theoretical-methodological strategy that converges themes, approaches and problems related to return migratory processes, sustainable management of pests and diseases in coffee crops, and traditional medicine practices of native peoples (Totonac). The results include learning, strengthening of cognitive capacities and positions committed to provide answers that would benefit both the rural community environments and the generation and application of knowledge conducive to possibilities of social, scientific and humanistic transformation.
