The Creole people have persisted in one way or another in a multi-ethnic context, they have been able to preserve their culture, transmit their language, customs and traditions. They remind us that it has been an arduous duty for their elders. The fact of living in a culturally diverse region has made it difficult for them to transmit the original language, but each of these obstacles has been overcome, because in the midst of the family environment ancestral communication practices have been strengthened. This study describes part of these practices that have lasted within the Creole families from Siuna, Rosita and Bonanza municipalities, in the Autonomous Regions of the North Caribbean Coast in Nicaragua. Traditions, customs, beliefs, symbols and types of communication that these families had and currently have where the stories of elderly men and women belonging to the Afro-descendant people, originated in the Southern Caribbean of Nicaragua and who have remained in the North Caribbean coast of the country for decades, region where they built and enhanced their own family practices, customs and ancestral traditions.

The harvest confirms that “Los Ranchitos” Community Museum is an ancestral intercultural communication strategy in Nueva Guinea, which contributes significantly to the cultural heritage and revitalization of the mestizo people collective identity. Also, it strengthens the Nicaraguan Network of Community Museums. Consistently, the study allows documenting the work that is undertaken from the territory for rescuing of the cultural heritage. This is a qualitative study, guided by “the path of Creation, Recreation of Knowledge, Knowings and Practices of URACCAN”, in a strategy that ensured the direct involvement of the community articulated from the Nicaraguan network of community museums and the museum friends committee. The study highlights that although these spaces are an instrument for the protection and preservation of the cultural heritage and identity of the mestizo people from Nueva Guinea, there is a need for greater dissemination, awareness raising and care in their quality as ancestral sites.

The article shows the unfavorable conditions in which studies dedicated to our own communication, gender, territory and our own education are poorly studied in our context and therefore our ways of thinking and acting are not visible. Hence, the objective of this research is to know the topics covered in these publications, taking into account the development of their own epistemologies in relation to the territory, gender roles, the own education, among others. As a methodological strategy, an information search was made in sociological, cultural, and anthropological databases. The main keywords used were; women and gender, own communication, own education, territory, and spirituality. Original articles, reviews and monographs, national and international, published between 1990 and 2005 were included.

The present cultivation and breeding of knowledge and knowings (CCRISAC) was carried out in Toribio community from the Nasa indigenous people located 123 kilometers from Popayán city, capital of Cauca department, Colombia. The findings highlight the great knowledge of the community with the fabric of art and intercultural communication as part of the wisdom they practice from the heritage of their ancestors and the commitment assumed to keep the culture alive. These wisdoms are rooted in spiritual communication, which determines the awakening of gifts and physical maturation in the life cycles of NASA culture. The word UM in the Nasa Yuwe mother tongue translates tissue and is derived from UMA, the woman who possesses wisdom, is the word that also defines ART. From this worldview it is understood as art, that is to say; Um, it is the space to weave wisdom, offer and cheer the spirits of mother earth. Weaving these wisdoms of indigenous art, required many spaces for reflection in tulpas (fire place), with spiritual guides who, in addition to opening the way to scrutinize these wisdoms, were the direct researchers among nature and who accompanied the spaces of knowledge. Likewise, within these spaces of cultivation and breeding of wisdoms, the Cxapik School of arts of Cecidic played an important role, a space that allowed to experience art, communication and spirituality directly.

This article discusses the Role of Dialogue and interpretation in remedy application, in Yanacona and Nasa indigenous peoples, in a guided process from the Cultivation and Breeding of wisdoms and knowledge approach (CRISSAC), based on oriented guides, interviews and visits to elders, leaders and students of the training process in Intercultural Law of the Autonomous Intercultural Indigenous University UAIIN - CRIC. In the exploration and conversation with the elders, a wealth of concepts such as: communication, dialogue, interpretation and remedy were found, reflecting some cultural practices, expressions of cultural values, forms of application of justice and its procedural elements, grounded from spirituality as the basis of the revitalizing communication of our identity as peoples.

The practice of routine and traditional readings during the educational process has become a problem, especially when the scholar needs to feel this activity as enjoyment and personal creation. In the article latent problems are identified and the theoretical bases are considered taking into account contributions from different sciences and disciplines related to the didactics of reading that are coherent with the educational ideas that identify the Cuban pedagogical tradition. Being the main objective to expose the tendencies and the main assumed assumptions that sustain the problem related to the motivation for reading. The activities project the process of training readers in a dynamic and creative way, from a perspective that integrates the use of reading animation techniques, a participatory and democratic style, causing emotional effects in school children. The study was carried out from September 2018 to March 2019. To evaluate the effectiveness of the study, the pedagogical experiment method was used, in its pre-experiment modality, with a pre-test and post-test design. The positive effects achieved in schoolchildren of the experimental group with respect to motivation levels have demonstrated the relevance and effectiveness of the proposed activities.

This research paper aimed to describe the adaptation and perception process of foreign students in relation to the culture and the education system at a Public University in Colombia. A qualitative study was carried out with a sample of (7) seven students from Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and France. It was found that these processes do not have a exact or permanent ending, taking into account that society, culture, educational model and the university are constantly changing. Consequently, the students had to adapt by learning from the experiences and what others could bring to them. Likewise, students showed to be permeable to the different social problems they might face in the new context, understanding and trying to give an explanation to it, based on their own perceptions. rent social problems, understanding from their point of view related to their own perceptions.

The Cultivation and Breeding of Wisdoms and Knowledge (CCRISAC, for its translation into Spanish) is a methodology of own research that is born within the Network of Indigenous Intercultural and Community Universities of Abya Yala (RUIICAY), as a proposal from the indigenous and afro-descendant peoples of Abya Yala. This initiative is enriching from the exercise of intercultural communication, since it ensures the interpersonal relationship between the researcher and the community in a holistic, respectful and consensus way, that is, it takes as an essential part and begins from the collective construction of subject to subject; builds, dialogues, shares, consents, validates, socializes and harmonizes. The methodology was the Cultivation and Breeding of Wisdoms and Knowledge, which is visualized from the harmonization of knowledge between the different bibliographical sources. Finally, intercultural communication is an essential element that materializes from the relationship and correlation between the subjects of study, that is, communities are the essential focus that open their minds to the researcher to be able to build community and interculturally. Therefore, every researcher must open his or her mind to the exercise of a different, human communication that becomes visible from the respectful understanding among the differences.

Interculturality is understood as the synthesis of contradictions between multiple expressions and cultural identities that cannot be separated from the old philosophical, and also political dilemma, which implies the discussion of modernity versus postmodernity. In this proposal, I argue that interculturality manifests itself in a problematic way in both matrixes of thought; in modernity for its totalizing common sense, and postmodernism by covering up a common frame of reference. Faced with this, I outline an approach linked to the thesis of transmodernity, where dialogue between equals would be possible, not as a charity, but as a demand of historically marginalized sectors. For the construction of this position, I mobilize the theoretical effort that is made from the Historical Cultural Theory of Activity (CHAT) to insert the psychological in a field of greater complexity: the intersubjective activity. I work with the hypothesis of expansive learning of the CHAT to characterize the intercultural as a new object of collective learning product of the collision between positions. Therefore, interculturality is a mobilizing idea that is developed progressively as a result of the learning and cultural dialogue management.
