Abstract: Democracy is facing a profound crisis in its capacity of representation, most manifest in the younger generations. This paper aims to discuss the link between this crisis and the paradox on which democracy is based in Chile. It analyses the contradic- tions between discourse and practice in juvenile participation, the features of civic education in Chile —which is entrusted with the education of the citizens needed in a democratic system—, and the poten- tial effect of the school in the education of democratic citizens.
