The intercultural educational model at the higher level has a great potential in the integral formation of young professionals according to their context. However, like any educational model, its implementation depends on the joint participation of students, teachers, managers and, in this case, community actors. Professional training takes place within the framework of the exchange and dialogue of knowledge that contributes to the construction of the same student to sustainability and interculturality. The objective is to share the training experience in the academic program of sustainable development at the Universidad Intercultural de Chiapas, which results, based on the evidence generated in the first generations, in a model of strengthening the dialogue of knowledge. It is concluded that this model is in accordance with the training needs of current and future generations.
