This project aims to combine the study of three concepts: citizenship, participation, and civil society. Currently, citizen participation in public life exceeds the framework of political parties and the channels of participation that result from elections, which remain the central core of democracy. Civil society demands new areas of action in public life, areas that allow it to express its opinion and for that opinion to be, on one hand, collected by its political representatives and, on the other, heard and respected in those places, outside of parliament, where decisions are made. To form that public opinion that constitutes civil society, it is necessary to develop a model of education that includes education in values; the only means, on the other hand, to guarantee the integration of all people into society.
