Description
Summary:This paper aims to analyze how interculturality may become an agent to promote decoloniality starting from education. The research was based on bibliographic studies in order to understand the concept of the term intercultural and its relevance to the promotion of decolonial education. The readings of the productions of the Modernity/Coloniality Group (GM/C) - formed mainly by ten Latin researchers - stimulate the study about questions of cultural diversity, intercultural education and decoloniality. In addition, it examines the quality of teacher training to understand how it can promote the valuing of the most varied cultures in the classroom. During this research, it was possible to realize that the opinions of the GM/C scholars converge towards the idea that the incentive to interculturality in the training of both teachers and students allows for the development of educational projects that respect and attend to social and cultural transformations. The decolonization of knowledge is fundamental, in order to make society more humane and ethical, breaking away from patterns of exclusion and discrimination.
