El diálogo de saberes en las Escuelas Campesinas: aprendizajes colectivos y construcción territorial del conocimiento

Resumen

This study analyzes the dialogue of knowledge as a pedagogical, epistemological, and political foundation of the Peasant Schools (Escuelas Campesinas ESCAMP by its Spanish abbreviation) promoted by the Universidad Autónoma Chapingo in collaboration with rural communities in Veracruz. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach and participatory action research, it systematizes experiences of agroecological learning and community organization developed between 2022 and 2024. Outcomes show that knowledge dialogue creates horizontal spaces for co-constructing knowledge, promotes agroecological innovation, and strengthens local autonomy in land management. The study suggests that these schools constitute a transformative rural education practice that links peasant, indigenous, and academic knowledge in processes of ethno-development and cognitive justice. The article provides an updated theoretical reflection on the dialogue of knowledge from the perspective of liberation philosophy, critical pedagogy, and epistemologies of the South.
