GUEDES, Maria Denise; SILVA, Silmara Moraes da  e  PASSOS, Luana. A cidadania em debate: perspectivas dos alunos do PEJA. Educ. Teoria Prática [online]. 2009, vol.19, n.33, pp.37-48. ISSN 1981-8106.

To educate for citizenship is the aim of the contemporary education. From this premise we developed with our PEJA students a reflection about the concept of citizenship, with the purpose of understanding what are the sense and the meaning they assign to the concept. The results of this classroom reflection were systematized at the present article. For this, we firstly elaborated a brief summary to recover the origin and the meaning of the concept of citizenship in view of the classical and contemporary liberalism. Then, we present the analysis we made from the texts that were produced by the students about the question: what is citizenship? Finally, we elaborated some considerations on the importance of an extension project like PEJA to the students that participate in it, and to the students of the Undergraduate Course of Pedagogy who are in the project as well. Thus, this is a project with institutional extension and it consolidates itself as a key place to the aim of what is worth to the public university: the indissociability’s practice of teaching-research-extension.
