Percepciones de los Estudiantes en Torno a los Acuerdos sobre Educación Superior

This publication, in two volumes, arises from the urgency to establish a cooperation framework that strengthens social capacities for dialogue and negotiation as a democratic mechanism for conflict management, promotes participatory democracy and peaceful and lasting dialogue on public policies, based on respect for human rights with a rights-based, intercultural and gender approach. Three universities—Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador, Central University, and Salesian Polytechnic University—and GIZ have convened teachers and researchers from different fields of social sciences to reflect on the fundamental themes of the dialogue process that emerged in Ecuador after the national strike of June 2022. Social organizations and indigenous movements (represented in CONAIE, FENOCIN, and FEINE) sat at dialogue tables with the national government, following the intervention of the Church and with the support of international cooperation through the European Union and GIZ. Dialogues for Peace: Views from Diversity is, on one hand, a diagnosis of Ecuador in numbers and socioeconomic reality, and on the other, a valuable contribution to the roadmap that both governments and Ecuadorian society must follow to build an intercultural Ecuador.
