Partycypacja w szkole – edukacja ekonomiczna w praktyce
Participation at School – Economic Education in Practice

Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes economic education as an element of civic education using the example of projects run by the Pole Dialogu Foundation: Schools in the Neighborhood (SWS) and the School Civic Budget (SBO). Using an autoethnographic approach, the authors examine the impact of participatory methods on students’ sense of agency and the implementation of economic education in practice. On a theoretical level, the text refers to the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the participation models of R. Hart, H. Shier, and L. Lundy. The analysis of SWS points to the role of schools in integrating local communities, while SBO shows decision-making processes concerning funds as a tool for learning responsible management of public resources. The publication sheds light on systemic barriers such as the hierarchical nature of schools, the overload of the core curriculum, and adults’ lack of faith in the competence of young people. The conclusions emphasize that authentic participation deconstructs the model of entrepreneurship based on individual profit, promoting action for the common good and democratic change in the organizational culture of educational institutions.
