Abstract

The article describes the Pedagogía de Frontera movement, which provides continuing education for teachers and the school community in the municipal network of Foz do Iguaçu, as some schools have a large number of children of other nationalities, mainly Hispanic-Americans. Teachers from Unila, Unioeste and Ifpr provide training with the aim of discussing and rethinking pedagogical practices that consider the linguistic and cultural diversity present in the local context, enabling an intercultural and decolonizing pedagogy in the Triple Border. A critical-reflective training is proposed so that they can think about other pedagogical practices that coincide with local demands. One of the results is the inclusion of Spanish and English in elementary school. It is expected that the teaching work will continue to promote changes in favor of an intercultural and decolonizing education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
