| Title | Participatory rights of Indigenous Peoples regaridng education and language policies.Comparative practices of Colombia and Nicaragua |
| Summary | This research is motivated by the level of language at risk regarding indigenous communities. I analyze the interconnection of participatory and cultural rights. Focused specifically in language and educational policies, my position is that it is required a strong indigenous involvement in their decision-making, being the Free Prior Informed Consent a suitable framework. The used methodology is a comparative approach of the jurisdictions of Colombia and Nicaragua, based on their regulations and documentation available. International and regional protection of indigenous peoples supports the participatory approach in decision-making related to cultural matters, where FPIC ensures a qualified indigenous participation. Moreover, analyzing the practice of consultations in Colombia and Nicaragua to assess Indigenous peoples’ representativeness, two models are observed: the ‘Board’ model of consultations relies on indigenous organizations, whereas the ‘Regional’ model is based on authorities of the regional level of governance. I conclude that the first model serves better as a representative scheme, because it is more respectful with indigenous self-determination and inclusive with the diverse IPs potentially involved. |
