Summary/Abstract: The role of education is to help every person to integrate into the community. In this way, children learn the rules that should be respected in a society in order to have a better world. Creating this world starts from the education received by each individual at home and reinforced during the school years. The educational system is frequently accused of discouraging communication, creativity, initiative and not promoting authentic values. The school considers learning “the alphabet” as a priority, but neglects to focus on developing the individual capacity to adapt in a democratic society. Children who do not grow up fettered by misconceptions have a real chance to be truly free. A better world is a world where people understand that active involvement is the first step towards a sustainable transformation of the society. Democracy can be learned, and once it is assumed, its principles must be put into practice. Education should promote democratic values by encouraging communication and involvement, avoiding social and individual standardization. Communicative planning can help children to understand the democratic values through a communication exercise and real involvement, to understand and assume the community values, to identify problems and seek solutions, and to better perceive the built environment.
