Indigenous Intercultural University Ayuuk

What can I say? I am overwhelmed after the few days spent last week at the Indigenous Intercultural University Ayuuk in Jaltepec de Candayoc (Mixe indigenous region) Oaxaca (México). ISIA was originated with the indigenous organization SERmixe aiming to serve the indigenous communities in Oaxaca.

The three main principles of this university are commonality, integrality and solidarity taken to practice in a unique holistic vision, structure, living space, sessions... While I was there Pr. Gunther Dietz (Universidad Veracruzana) gave a talk about "educación y diversidad cultural" as well as the few days presentacions of the first local masters thesis to whom I would like to congratulate for such incredible work. There is so much to learn from such university model over the occidental format that forgot its purpose in society.

Thanks so much to Alejandro Mira Tapia for making this happening as well as the whole ISIA team, in particular to the Director Francisco Morfín. Gracias @ISIAyuuk
