Educating citizens through school justiceCitizenship education requires a complex set of knowledge and information, which is taught as a specific subject. However, everyday life at school also offers many enriching opportunities to learn about how to participate in public space. Conflicts and their resolution, decision-making circuits, and the creation of different criteria to think about school life can be useful tools to build a responsible citizenship. Education takes place in contexts that are utterly unequal, unstable and uncertain. Schools wonder, placed between omnipotence and helplessness, whether they can do something to preserve what is best in this world and change what needs to be changed. Revising previous pedagogic ideas can help us think about what is specific about teachers’ contribution in building a more just society. |
