GARCES, Víctor Hugo. Citizenship Education and Democratic Coexistence. Between the Educational Practices, the School Literacy and Learning in the City. Folios [online]. 2021, n.53, pp.19-30.  Epub Nov 15, 2021. ISSN 0123-4870.  https://doi.org/10.17227/folios.53-12906.

Scarce studies have addressed the relationship between citizenship education and coexistence. However, this article provides a description of the contribution of democratic education to democratic coexistence. For this review were selected indexed publications that offered elements to understand the training for citizenship coexistence in Colombia. The results of the analysis cast three big trends: (1) The consolidation of educational practices resulting from the struggle between educational policies and the teachers' curricular concertation. (2) The design of citizen literacy programs based on the encouragement of interaction with political institutions and the ways to interact in society, the development of democratic experiences that settle the multicultural and intercultural conflict living together in diversity and the use of real problems and drills for democratic discussion and definition of citizen initiatives of participation and coexistence. (3) Reflections that propose: communicate the school with the ways of practicing political culture and establish social bonds that technology and media facilitate; articulate the training and school participation of the community with the regulations learned from the city and the educating city; supplement moral and civic teaching with deliberation and meeting with the others in places of decision; and, strengthen, from the classroom, the civic competencies learned in participatory spaces.

Keywords : Education; citizenship; citizenship education; school discipline; school coexistence; curriculum research.
