The article presents the advances, reflections and theoretical-methodological positions of the Project "Voices and Thoughts: communication from diversity" (SGI 2195, UPTC, Tunja, Boyacá - Colombia). It contains an introduction that corresponds to the reflection on the seventh-peace process that was experienced in the Colombian context. It displays the historical moment of the emergence of the communication wokshops in schools as a period and space of hope, as part of the National Program "Colombia Workshop Schools Tools of Peace". The following sections manifest positions of decentralization built after a week of meeting with young people with diverse abilities at the Koika classroom, representing a time of contextualization which was vital for the learning of the researchers. First, in relation to communication difficulties, as it was considered that these young people did not have communication skills. However, from the first encounter it was clear that the disability was not theirs, but ours and the world's to understand different communication possibilities. Here the construction of intersubjective relations is contemplated, regarding the difference as a potential and the look of strangeness, which is torn between its freedom and the desire for integration. The second decentering has to do with the formative intention to "build their future". In front of this, the research assumes a position of resignation, that is to say, there are no objectives related to promoting its development, nor stimulating skills, because it is not intended to fulfill an educational function. The only intention is to live dialogical experiences that impact on the present. The third decentering is to understand the meeting of diversities without external signs that ensure cognitive differences as a disadvantage or impossibility. The researchers avoid knowing the psychological diagnoses of the participating group, since it is not considered vital to the development of the project. By avoiding a perspective of "naturalization of the normality", the focus shifts to the valuing and the power of conversation as the main expression of human singularity.
