The objective is to present an exploratory-hermeneutical study on the perception of the representatives of a university community organizations about active participation in political decisions. The article shows the debates around the need to promote social responsibility and comprehensive training through citizen participation. The methods used were a documentary review of a university newspaper and magazine between 2005 and 2016 and focus groups with representatives of recognized university organizations, who were consulted about their perception of participation and coexistence in the university. The analysis of the inquiry suggests there is insufficient citizenship training to promote active participation. It is observed that coexistence and participation in university settings are useful to generate social processes to solve conflicts related to local, national, and global problems.

Keywords : Participation; coexistence; social responsibility; educational public policies.
