MONTESINOS, María Paula  and  PAGANO, Ana. Boys and girls in "street situation" and process of educational democratization. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2010, vol.8, n.1, pp.293-310. ISSN 1692-715X.

This article presents some reflections on a pedagogical project oriented to promote schooling among boys and girls in "street situation". We will also present its courses of action: the 'link with school' and 'school workshops'. The 'link with school' implies the elaboration of interventions to encourage the positioning of children as subjects of education in schools. The 'school workshops' are educational spaces developed in institutions aimed at this population. Some experiences centered in the construction and appropriation of knowledge are promoted in these spaces. This paper enlightens the role of the context and the particularities that this population poses regarding educational practices addressed to it. We also reflect on the issue of educational democratization in scenarios marked by social and educational inequality.

Keywords : boys and girls in "street situation"; democratization; education; social and educational inequality.
