The Education and Interculturality Research Group (GIEI for its acronym in Spanish) seeks to respond, at one end, to the lines of research determined by institutional priorities, such as: education, interculturality and youth. On the other, it is committed to the constitutional regulatory framework, the public policies in force in the country and the National Plan for Good Living 2013-2017.

From Latin America, the group seeks to rethink from a critical investigative practice, ways of producing knowledge from a non-Western perspective, practices of socialization and education in indigenous communities, the training of intercultural teachers, the educational inclusion of indigenous youth in higher education.
