Interculturality as a policy in higher education: discourses and practices in health sciences of zone 6 from an interdisciplinary and sustainable approach

The dialogue between disciplines and policies in the educational field has been a necessity for more than two decades, seeking to emphasize the integration and cooperation between various areas of knowledge. Despite these efforts, it is crucial to make visible the dives and advances made in this field, especially in the context of interculturalization, good living and sustainable development policies (SDGs). The approach is established in university academic training because it is in this environment where future professionals capable of implementing and perpetuating these principles in society are forged. To achieve this, the implementation of these public policies in careers of the health sciences of the universities of Zone 6 will be analyzed. A mixed methodology will be used, combining qualitative and quantitative approaches. On the one hand, the ethnographic method with the design of semi -structured tools and focal groups to obtain relevant first -hand information. In addition, the instrument of the interculturalization of higher education will be used addressed to the teaching and student plant, together with a detailed documentary review of the educational regulatory framework and university plans. The project results allow to identify the implementation of intercultural and sustainable policies in each career, analyzing the conceptions of interculturality in discourses and university practices. These findings become a theoretical critical mass that will serve to guide intercultural education, based on decisions and intervention proposals not only within educational institutions, but also in society as a whole from an interdisciplinary and sustainable approach
