CONTI, Maria Aparecida; CASTELANI, André y BATTISTINI, Denilson. Notes from an interdisciplinary project with adolescents in the high school: an approach to an exercise to a democratic action. Rev. bras. crescimento desenvolv. hum. [online]. 2005, vol.15, n.3, pp.69-73. ISSN 0104-1282.
The concept of citizenship seen as having rights and duties and assuming social responsibility related to transformation begins when rights and duties are seen together. This can occur to be possible when young people leave the passive position to play the role of a changer. A team of teachers from a private school adding political education in their curriculum developed a study involving the concepts of citizenships and democracy, together with the work in the local city council. Around 100 senior high school students from the first grade shared all the legislative routine exercising their democracy - the fundamental standard for a political education. In that matter this team fulfilled one of its main goals: the citizenships education. The student was in contact with the political theory and the analyses of its social reality, finding out the need of a major social participation and a conscious sense of politics and mainly the social responsibility that everybody has to face when we have all the constant changes of a society.
