THIS SPACE OF ENCOUNTER AND REFLECTION IS MOTIVATED BY THE FUTURE OF OUR SOCIETIES THROUGH EDUCATION, THE RECOGNITION OF THE OTHER, AND THE PURSUIT OF A LIFE OF DIGNITY. IT ARISES FROM AN ETHICAL URGENCY RATHER THAN THEORETICAL CURIOSITY, SINCE OUR AMERICA AND THE GLOBAL WORLD ARE INCREASINGLY FRAGMENTED INTO ANTAGONISTIC POLITICAL AND IDEOLOGICAL POSITIONS THAT DESTROY LIFE IN VARIOUS WAYS, AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE AND VARIED COGNITIONS AND PERSPECTIVES THROUGH WHICH AN INDIVIDUAL MANAGES TO DESCRIBE AND RECOGNIZE THEMSELVES AS A SUBJECT OF EXPERIENCES (HUMAN NOT ONLY FOR HAVING A BIOLOGICAL BODY BUT FOR SUBJECTIVITY AND THE CAPACITY TO THINK OF ONESELF AS ONESELF) WHO EXPRESSES WHAT THEY NEED, WANT OR DESIRE, AND SEEKS THE CONTEXTUAL AND COMMUNITY CONDITIONS TO ACHIEVE IT.
EDUCATION, AS A SOCIAL PRACTICE, TAKES PLACE WITHIN MORAL AND LINGUISTIC CONTEXTS SHAPED BY HUMAN BEINGS IMMERSED IN A SUCCESSIVE CONJUGATION OF DIFFERENT BRUTE, SOCIAL AND INSTITUTIONAL FACTS THAT INFLUENCE OR DETERMINE THEIR SENSE OF LIFE AND THEIR CONSTRUCTION OF SOCIAL REALITY, IN WHICH CRITICALITY, CREATIVITY, SINGULARITY, ETC., ARE CLOSELY RELATED TO THE RECOGNITION OF THE OTHER, WHO KNOWS, UNDERSTANDS AND BUILDS DIFFERENT WORLDS. HENCE THE INDISSOLUBLE BOND BETWEEN LANGUAGE AND WORLD, THE POSSIBILITIES THAT THE WORLD BUILT YESTERDAY MAY BE TRANSFORMED TODAY, AND THAT THE PRACTICES AFFECTING SOCIAL AND INDIVIDUAL WELL-BEING MAY BE CHANGED, GIVEN THAT EDUCATION HAPPENS IN LANGUAGE AND SPACES OF SOCIAL INTERACTION ARE MICROCOSMS WHERE DIVERSITY PREVAILS.
