Topic : ’Stakeholders engagement and success of education and training systems reforms. What correlation?’
During the 10th session of CIMQUSEF crowning a decade of the AMAQUEN engagement to participate in efforts to improve quality in education systems and training, we have chosen in line with the themes covered field of quality management, to address this topical issue. Because it is linked to possible roles the different actors and stakeholders in the success of the reforms undertaken by different countries or groups of countries to improve their systems of education and training. The Cimqusef'2013 invite speakers and participants to try to answer the questions underlying the issue:
''How do the management of change promotes engagement of stakeholders in the success of the SET reforms?''.

In this interview, Daniel Mato presents the Project “Cultural Diversity, Interculturality and Higher Education" of the International Institute of UNESCO for Higher Education in Latin America and the Caribbean (IESALC), which analyzes the current demands and access conditions of Indigenous and Afro-Descendant students within the different types of Latin American Higher Education Institutions, and assesses their impact, responsibilities and challenges in regards to intercultural education, amongst other issues.

What is the “Project on Cultural Diversity, Interculturality, and Higher Education" about?

The Project “Cultural Diversity and Interculturality in Higher Education in Latin America” of the Instituto Internacional de la UNESCO para la Educación Superior en América Latina y el Caribe (IESALC) was created to identify, document and analyze experiences of higher education that are committed to meeting the needs, demands and proposals for higher education among indigenous and Afro-descendant communities in Latin America. The Project thereby seeks to lay the necessary groundwork to inform policy recommendations, generate criteria for the production of statistics and indicators on the field’s development, identify topics of interest for new research projects, and contribute to the development of sustainable collaboration mechanisms between the institutions studied and others with similar interests.

1. Learning to read reality

We need to re-invent all systems that organize life: economic, political, environmental and social, to respond to new needs, overcoming the limitations and undesirable side effects of the models that we have used up to date. We should urgently and seriously consider the priorities in the generation and use of knowledge in our societies. What is at stake is the very concept of the idea of progress. [ + ]

• 2. Building the world we imagine

This session will explore the vision of the world we want. We need to re-invent all systems that organize life: economic, political, environmental and social, to respond to new needs, overcoming the limitations and undesirable side effects of the models that we have used up to date. What is at stake is the very concept of the idea of progress. The session will present fresh and innovative ideas and visions of students, practitioners and scholars with the aim to share everyone’s imagined world. Education has a big intergenerational responsibility in building the world we imagine. [ + ]

• 3. Why is engagement critical for social change?

Engagement necessarily entails struggles for change and transformation that require altering the current social structures and power relations. Engagement is key in breaking the conformity of thought by proactively criticizing the world of ideas and transforming those paradigms and beliefs established in the social systems about how we organize our community. With this key idea we want to discuss how community engagement is central for the creation of a new citizenship. [ + ]

• 4. Building partnership: making cooperation mainstream

Partnership is the central aspect in developing community engagement initiatives that deal with the issues of people. A partnership is a way of being and a way of working with others that implies mutual understanding, common good, reciprocity, collaboration in decision making and transparency regarding outcomes. [ + ]

• 5. Enlarging the conception of knowledge

In this session we will discuss what we understand by knowledge and its role in society, and how engagement contributes to make all cosmologies of knowledge count. [ + ]

• 6. Redefining political frameworks and structures for making engagement to happen

Adapting and creating appropriated structures at all levels is key for the mainstreaming of community-university engagement. The session will examine inspiring institutional design examples, the most relevant national policies, political frameworks and the role of networks, and how they have contributed to a scholar’s cultural change. [ + ]

• 7. Engagement with added value and collective impact

This session is about quality assurance of engagement. The session will discuss the need of a system of indicators that measures the quality of engagement, and how it can be generated in ways that is consistent with the spirit of engagement and that engages all actors together. The session will also explore ways in which the system of indicators of engagement can be defined collectively and be introduced in the international agenda. [ + ]
