The game in the intercultural dialogue of knowledge

Abstract

In recent decades, intercultural education has gained greater relevance in the legislative and regulatory sphere in Argentina. However, it has not been accompanied by the production and circulation of materials and resources to help translate the recognition of rights and approaches into concrete, everyday practices. In this article, we reflect on some experiences developed within the framework of the project "Games as Pedagogical and Knowledge Tools from and Towards Interculturality" at the National University of Luján. This project proposes the creation and recreation of games and recreational projects that constitute available and easily accessible tools for individuals and groups engaged in educational practices linked to thinking and acting from an intercultural perspective. Throughout the article, we describe the ways in which the systematization and production of games that foster intercultural dialogue support the training of teachers and community actors and contribute to the development of tools that promote the implementation of educational practices in which diversity is brought into dialogue. In this sense, intercultural dialogue is nourished by the dialogue of knowledge or can be thought of as a specific form of it.
