This study brings together the results of two researches on the relationships between families of Latin American origin emigrated to Barcelona (Spain) and the schools their children attend. Both investigations were carried out by members of the same team at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, on two times, 2005-2007 and 2011-2013, in which the economic and social situation in the host country was different. Were made in total 35 interviews, aimed at obtaining narratives about the migration process and the expectations and experiences related to school. We proceeded to the creation of categories emerged from data, and each interview was segmented in quotations for analysis with the help of ATLAS.ti. The results show the presence of family strategies for intercultural harmony and favoring the convergence of educational projects. Regarding institutional dynamics, were determining factors in the educational inclusion legitimizing family practices, the type of managing diversity in the classroom, personalized communication, guidance to families and the presence of a caring attitude in the teachers.
