Sumario:In this paper we aim to build a framework to support strategies for the development of democratization processes in schools. As a result of our theoretical review and hands-on experience working with schools, we propose a series of effective strategies to bring about changes in this regard: promoting a culture of collaboration and being part of a shared vision; fighting social and educational exclusion and appreciating human diversity; defining a set of democratic values; enabling community involvement; encouraging participatory action research, empowerment and self-determination; and developing self-learning processes and educational projects shared with the territory. This proposal is not a list of strategies but rather a starting point to produce changes in democratic and inclusive schools, by involving the education community and inviting critical reflection and collaborative inquiry.
