Abstract

This article analyzes aspects of citizenship that have influenced the configuration of the school as a place of social learning. The first part confronts those frameworks with the results of the EU Kids Online (Portugal) and ICT Kids Online (Brazil) surveys of children and adolescents about digital opportunities and activities. The second part looks at Portuguese citizenship educational policies and the responses of Portuguese students about the formal education in the past year regarding digital citizenship. The conclusions point to the relevance of schools as social institutions that should neither block the opportunities offered by the digital world nor ignore the risks it poses to full citizenship.
