The present papers focus on learning corners as a tool to promote intercultural interlearning among young people aged 12 to 15. Cultural diversity has become relevant in modern education, and learning corners offer a collaborative and autonomous space that facilitates dialogue between students from different backgrounds. This constructivist approach allows students to not only learn, but to construct knowledge interactively. In addition, interlearning strengthens intercultural competencies, such as empathy and conflict resolution, essential in the 21st century. Through a mixed methodological approach, we will evaluate how these environments promote mutual understanding and respect between cultures, also analyzing the barriers to their implementation. The study seeks to identify good practices and make recommendations to integrate learning corners into school curricula, promoting a more inclusive and equitable education.
