| description | The sustained increase in migration in Chile has reshaped the country’s social and educational landscape, particularly in the city of Santiago, the main destination for both international and internal flows. This article presents the findings of a qualitative study based on the biographical-narrative method, which aimed to understand how migratory processes influence identity construction and intercultural relations between adolescents attending high schools in the Metropolitan Region. Through life stories, the voices of three students—two with international migration experiences (from Colombia and Venezuela) and one of Mapuche origin, representing internal migration—are made visible, and their trajectories are analyzed within a school context that often operates under logics of cultural homogenization. The results reveal identity tensions, structural barriers, and subtle forms of exclusion, but they also highlight strategies of resistance and the centrality of family cultural capital as a foundation for envisioning the future. The main contribution of this study lies in showing, through biographical narratives, how internal and external migration intersect in the construction of youth identities, providing a differentiating perspective with respect to previous studies that focused exclusively on international migration. A conclusion is drawn regarding the need to transition from a multiculturalist and merely expository approach towards a paradigm of critical interculturality that transforms pedagogical practices and school cultures, ensuring the right to identity and inclusive, relevant education for all students. |

El aumento sostenido de la migración en Chile ha transformado el paisaje social y educativo, especialmente en la ciudad de Santiago, principal destino de flujos internacionales e internos. Este artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación cualitativa basada en el método biográfico-narrativo, cuyo objetivo fue comprender la manera en que los procesos migratorios influyen en la construcción de la identidad y en las relaciones interculturales de adolescentes que estudian en liceos de la Región Metropolitana. A través de historias de vida, se visibilizan las voces de tres estudiantes—dos con experiencia de migración externa (Colombia y Venezuela) y uno de ascendencia mapuche, representando la migración interna—y se analizan sus trayectorias en un contexto escolar que suele operar bajo lógicas de homogeneización cultural. Los hallazgos revelan tensiones identitarias, barreras estructurales y formas de exclusión sutiles, pero también estrategias de resistencia y la centralidad del capital cultural familiar como soporte para proyectar el futuro. La principal contribución de este estudio radica en mostrar, mediante relatos biográficos, cómo la migración interna y externa se entrelazan en la construcción de identidades juveniles, aportando una mirada diferenciadora con respecto a investigaciones previas, centradas exclusivamente en la migración internacional. Se concluye sobre la necesidad de transitar desde un enfoque multiculturalista y meramente expositivo hacia un paradigma de interculturalidad crítica que transforme las prácticas pedagógicas y las culturas escolares, garantizando el derecho a la identidad y a una educación inclusiva y pertinente para todos los estudiantes.
