Use of collaborative methodologies (dialogical practices) in Latin America

Abstract

Latin America faces different obstacles at a social, ecological and economic level, according to the context of each country. The development of this region depends on many factors; However, intercommunal and intracommunity collaboration and transdisciplinary research have become key elements for the diverse Latin populations to overcome the challenges they face. Recently, in this region, we have begun to opt for the application of what is known as dialogical practices from a transdisciplinary approach (very different from multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity) with the aim of reaching a common understanding among people, achieving an interactive multiactoral empowerment, promoting education for sustainable development, but above all, to motivate the critical participation of people in general so that they are protagonists of the evolution and development of their societies.
