LUCIO-VILLEGAS, Emilio. Edifying a participative citizenship through education. []. , 20, pp.13-29. ISSN 1645-7250.
In this article I try to explore relationships between education - in this case adult education - and participation as a way and a form of citizenship. My departure point is that both participation and citizenship are closely linked each other: people can only be citizen if they are the possibility to participate in public business. I present Participatory Research as a methodology for developing participatory process. After that I present four micro experiences related to the practice of Participatory Budget in the city of Seville. At the end of the article are presented some conclusions to explore tensions and contradictions derived from these experiences.
