Abstract:
Childhood is perceived as a period of apprenticeship, but children are not actually trained in political issues, i.e. they are not provided by society and school with opportunities for political participation and action. As many studies conclude, children are aware of the political and economic situation, interpret it and act accordingly. However, society activates material and symbolic mechanisms to exclude children from active political participation. When children go beyond the limits of their political exclusion, they create a series of subversions and threats to the existing order. This usually results in an attempt to settle these transgressions to restore order. It is interesting, therefore, in this chapter (8) to identify the causes of the marginalization of children's right to participate in public life.
