This paper describes the results of the study titled "Afrocentric and Western dialogues: Towards training community family therapists. This study was conducted in 2013 using a Participatory Action Research methodology. The purpose of the study was to analyze how displaced Afro-colombian women who were living in the Pacific Coast and were internally displaced to the city of Cali constructed meaning as part of a pedagogical encounter with a group of master's students studying Family Therapy from Lewis & Clark College, Portland, Oregon. The results examine the following themes: the women's collective constructing meaning for their own knowledge as a form of practicing resistance; critical, new and emerging meaning from cultural practices that represent a possibility of reconfiguring collective identity; reconstruction of social fabric; and the strengthening of symbolic actions when engaging in therapeutic work with families.

Keywords : Participatory research; intercultural communication; cultural interaction; cultural action.
