Participación escolar: la escuela como centro para garantizar democracias sostenibles

Abstract

In today's increasingly complex and diverse world, it is necessary to redefine the meaning of participatory democracy and revalue the status of the citizen. Extremist movements, violence, racism, xenophobia and social exclusion threaten democracies, in addition to the challenges of globalization and far-reaching technological developments. Thus, each individual has a vital role to play in achieving democratic stability and peace in society, but these challenges are just as important in the classroom. They demand a new understanding of the rights and responsibilities of future citizens.


This reflective article analyzes school participation as an important and timely contribution to the emerging debate on the value of educating citizens and communities to empower them to participate in democratic change. It will argue, from the perspective of political sustainability, that education should reinvent learners as future citizens and as contributors to the democratic communities in which they live and work, demonstrating that democratic participation in school settings can provide a real means to enable members of different communities to learn to respect and value each other, thus ensuring the construction of inclusive and participatory democracies, especially those that can heal the ravages of capitalism and lay the foundations for a new society.
