This text seeks to contribute to the analytical and practical debates of the intercultural from the experience of the Communal University that is planned by the ayuujk community of Tlahuitoltepec, from the community organizational life that goes through the system of positions, the construction of authority and decision making to build an educational model that will affect the lives of people and their territories. The analysis is made from our position as collaborators in the academic and management bodies of the university, as professionals of the community and from our concern for colonial education. We approach the jää'wen jotmay, as a research methodology from the feeling, think-do, the bet is for the recognition of the ayuujk knowledge system, its force statements, its methodological aspects and its practical anchoring. Beyond the local aspect, the bet is on the construction of thoughts and exercises by the common.
