Teacher training and intercultural education in the Colombian Caribbean is the work of Dr. Celmira Castro Suarez, who focuses on intercultural education in teacher training and whose claim is based, from a complex and committed intercultural perspective, on contributing elements for teacher professional development from a critical intercultural approach, thus responding to one of the substantive characteristics of 21st century societies: interculturality or cultural diversity (Kymlicka, 1999; Kymlicka and Norman, 2000). The Colombian Caribbean society is increasingly multicultural, in it subjects and cultural communities with different symbolic universes coexist. In this scenario, it is essential to establish commitments between research and pedagogical practices, to achieve goals related to the common good, quality of life, equal opportunities, equity, inclusion and social justice. All with the legitimacy of committing research to the recognition of knowledge (de Sousa, 2017), and the defense of ethical, social, democratic and human rights values. Indeed, the work presented here manages to show the social dimension of research, which thus contributes to the development of sustainable societies and the return of knowledge to Colombian society, particularly to the Caribbean.
