Sumario:[EN]This article seeks to explore the potential implications of using the Forum Theatre technique in secondary school settings. To do so, we describe the intervention programme undertaken in four secondary schools in the Basque Country (Spain) in which the Forum Theatre technique was one of the core methodological strategies. Based on this experience, we can draw conclusions related to the relevance of this technique in generating a democratic space of citizenship where youths can debate and explore alternatives when addressing issues of interest to them from their immediate reality.
