Abstract

In preparing active citizens, School and Youth Participatory Budgeting (PB) promises opportunities for pupils to learn about and do democracy in their schools. The process fosters valuable life skills in leadership, negotiation and self-advocacy while also fulfilling curriculum expectations. In this chapter, Jez Hall begins by presenting a practitioner’s description of the development of School PB in a UK context over a 15-year horizon. However sensible the concept of School and Youth PB appears at first glance, Hall traces the significant challenges to truly embedding PB within schools and communities. He discusses these challenges from a power perspective linked to the banking and problem-posing pedagogical approaches of education, as articulated by Paulo Freire, and in navigating youth-adult partnerships. Hall argues that when coupled with other democratic innovations, especially those taken up and fostered by youth, PB can serve as a youth-led, equitable approach to the democratization of spaces and resources.
