Abstract

This paper presents an overview of the efforts made to increase the participation of young people in high school through the curricular projects of citizen training in schools, as well as the initiatives of the young people themselves. The aim of this article is to distinguish citizen formation from citizen culture, the first as an important element for the construction of individuals within the schools, and the second as a participation and a perennial action in daily life. We analyze some current positions on the training of citizens in high school and their involvement in the formation of citizens, in order to encourage the participation of young people in their daily lives to strengthen citizen culture.
