Hoy, PIQE conmemora el Día de los Pueblos Indígenas reconociendo las culturas, historias, conocimientos y contribuciones de los pueblos indígenas. Para quienes trabajan en la educación y para las comunidades, reconocer las voces indígenas también significa crear espacios para aprender de sus experiencias y asegurar que los estudiantes conozcan historias y perspectivas que reflejen a las comunidades que los rodean. Fomentamos seguir aprendiendo, escuchando y creando vínculos significativos con las comunidades indígenas, no solo hoy, sino durante todo el año.
