Chapter 3: The Higher Educational Processes in a Context of Migration and Displacement in Ecuador

Mobility and displacement make higher education professionals and students feel distressed, depressed, and discriminated against, from having to leave their homelands for improving their socio-economic conditions, or even escape for living. To overcome their feelings, they do their best to carry out a normal life, concentrating on upgrading, new cultural acquisition and linking with the new community, and adjusting to a new context. In the middle of this situation, there is an enrichment of societal relations, literacy processes, inclusion, and interculturality, which are transmitted to new generations. The pedagogy of the inclusive process of refugees and immigrants may become more enriched with the interaction of ontological, epistemological, cognitive, affective, axiological, and praxeological dimensions, in a new world that seeks for sustainability.
