In Brazil, in the last decades, experiences have been conducted, albeit fragmentarily, on that can be called educational territories. In a given educational territory, we can set up conditions for educating autonomous citizens with an active engagement in society. A rightful citizen, an active participant in the decision-making processes impacting his\/her community is supported by the development of one’s body, one’s uniqueness, one’s reasoning capacity, and communicative and creative skills.<\/p>\n
Therefore, a territory needs to be organized and ensure the engagement of all different players around a common project, promoting democratic participation, schools innovating educational structures and practices, integration among agents of different social areas, and the expansion of educational opportunities.<\/p>\n
