The UNESCO Regional Office in Santiago and the Bilingual Intercultural Education Programme (PEIB) of the Chilean Ministry of Education are working on the implementation of pilot projects for language, cultural, and pedagogical immersion experiences for traditional educators. These projects are being developed over the 2023-2024 period.

Each language reflects how a human group understands and organizes the world, a unique expression of their social and cultural experience. The disappearance of a language entails the loss of a valuable human legacy, local knowledge, and a portion of humanity's history. Because of this, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed the period from 2022 to 2032 as the International Indigenous Languages Decade, aiming to draw the world's attention to the precarious situation of numerous indigenous languages and to mobilize various actors and resources for their protection, revitalization, and promotion.

This project seeks to contribute to the Global Action Plan for the Decade in its implementation stage (2022 to 2026), so that educational institutions can become intercultural educational communities with the active and strengthened participation of traditional educators and their indigenous communities, and encourage the use, conservation, revitalization, and promotion of native languages.
