Amb el lema "Educació o barbàrie", reivindiquem l’educació com a escola de ciutadania. Una educació que no només transmet coneixements, sinó que forma persones capaces de viure i conviure en societat, perquè puguin participar activament en societats complexes i incertes com les actuals i en transformació contínua. 

Una educació que ajuda a adquirir els hàbits de convivència democràtica i respecte mutu, que, alhora, promou el desenvolupament de la solidaritat i fraternitat entre les persones, especialment vers les que es troben en situacions més vulnerables, i contribueix a suprimir qualsevol discriminació i desigualtat social, vetllant pel bé comú.

Defensar la democràcia des de l'escola

La democràcia autèntica requereix dues formes d’aprenentatge en les quals l’escola pot exercir un paper essencial: “pensar per un mateix” i “construir a partir d’allò comú”. En aquesta sessió volem reivindicar el paper de l’educació com a mecanisme per promoure la llibertat, els drets humans i el pensament crític, diferenciant educació d’adoctrinament.

Catalunya té una llarga tradició de lluita per la democràcia a través dels moviments de renovació pedagògica, que ens pot servir de referent per als reptes presents.
