Abstract

This chapter examines the case of Portugal, the first country in the world to launch a national initiative of School PB. Since 2017, every year, all Portuguese public secondary schools can request government funds for improvement projects to be proposed, discussed, and voted on by students using School PB. The first section discusses international studies about the relationship between education and democracy and previous research on School PB. Next, the School PB program is described, detailing how it is carried out in Portugal by analyzing official records and reports. The chapter concludes with lessons from the Portuguese experience and suggestions for research and practice.
