This study focuses on examining the importance of affectivity and humour as part of Learning by Observing and Pitching In to family and community endeavours (LOPI). Specifically, it highlights the role of laughter in the form of a spontaneous expression of a certain type of humour. This laughter is the central element for coexistence during socialization focused on attention and body management, occurring while learners and experts in a Tzotzil village in Chiapas, Mexico, are jointly engaged in various activities.
