Abstract

This work aims to study the fundamental principles and proposals of the Citizen School project, developed in the public municipal education network in the city of Porto Alegre, during popular administrations from 1989 to 2004. The city's democratization project and its consequences for the school democratization are analyzed. The analysis sources used were basic documents on the educational policy of the time. The main authors who served as a theoretical reference for the project were, among them, Paulo Freire, Carlos Brandão, Vygotsky, Gramsci and Karl Marx. The study shows that Citizen  School  was a counter-hegemonic project, based on solidary, cooperative and collective values. It is a counterpoint to the market school supported by the neoliberal market model values, such as competition, individualism, entrepreneurship and meritocracy.

Key words: Citizen school. Democracy. Mercoescola. Training Cycles. Emancipatory Evaluation.
