Abstract

The aim of this contribution is to reflect on current conceptions on citizenship and to propose alternatives in order to raise new generations with the opportunity to gain competence in active and inclusive citizenship.

Then we revise the relationship between personal and collective well-being, in the context of citizenship. We propose to look at citizenship education from perspectives that prioritize the well- being of individuals within balanced and reciprocal social relationships, in the economic, political and social realms, as well as the responsibility we have to care for our planet. We close concluding with a proposal to foster citizenship education in schools, for adolescents age 15 to 18 years with diverse possibilities
