STRECK, Danilo Romeu. Popular participation, power and citizenship education: a pedagogical-political study of the participatory budget. Revista da FAEEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2018, vol.27, n.51, pp.251-263. ISSN 0104-7043.  https://doi.org/10.21879/faeeba2358-0194.2018.v27.n51.p251-263.

The article analyses the relationship between popular participation, power and citizenship, based on studies on participatory budgeting in the state of Rio Grande do Sul (Brasil). The central argument is that participation in the definition of projects and priorities is a privileged social practice for citizenship education. The study is based on a participatory methodology which has as leading principle the dialogue with the different stakeholders. As conclusion the article highlights the political-pedagogical potential of the collective reading of reality, as well as the importance of public discussion spaces for the reconstruction of power relations.

Keywords : Participatory Budget; Power; Participation; Pedagogy of Power.
