flexibility is an essential characteristic to adapt to other ways of seeing life and perceiving reality, it allows us to open our panorama to do new things based on new cultural practices.

taking this into account, we want to highlight the importance of how to adopt these new cultural practices since they can impact or even violate the ethical and moral values ​​of a person who is subject to the dynamics of intercultural relationships.

However, we must be honest and take a critical position to differentiate our cultural bias from our prejudices, since what we could perceive as unpleasant or reprehensible should not really be, there is the possibility that it is the reflection of our prejudices and it more appropriate to learn and to tolerate other ways of perceiving life.

Of course, what must be clear is that our actions have to be in line with respect for the dignity of human beings and avoid all kinds of abuse or promotion of reprehensible conduct that undermine human dignity.

Within the Ecuadorian perspective, it is seen how they promote intercultural values, respect, and training towards other cultures that have not been given the prominence they deserve. The Day of Interculturality seeks to leave behind the exclusionary practices that made cultures such as indigenous, Afro-Ecuadorian, and Montubias invisible, through a racist discourse that promulgated discrimination and ethnic-cultural exclusion.
The struggle for interculturality is demonstrated by the Plan for the fight against racism and discrimination, the observance of which is the responsibility of the Ministry of Culture and Heritage.
