Descrição
Resumo:This was a qualitative study and involved graduates of the master´s degree in education, mention Intercultural Educatio at the University of Cuenca.  In-depth interviews were applied, which was also complemented with a literature review. Results show that at the time of its definition, “interculturality” presents a polysemy of meanings.  In addition, there are a series of approaches that allow us to be closer to a possible definition. The analysis indicated that it is necessary to rethink interculturality from a critical posture, and it also revealed that interculturality discourses must be reflected from everyday practice.
