Resumen

Aiming at discussing an educational program, this paper focuses on four theoretical perspectives considered essential for the education of those involved in the creation of loci for the constitution of critical agents (here understood as students, teachers, parents, coordinators, and researchers, i.e., the other in general, including oneself). This theoretical framework is discussed within a program which is carried out in the outskirts of Sao Paulo, and assumes that, in order for schools to take on the role of promoting changes – inherent to this social context –, joint actions involving the university, the schools and the community (especially those whose family members or relatives attend the school) is needed, each of them fulfilling their part to re-think education and citizenship.
