Back Radical Education - A pathway for new utopias and reimagining European democracies

This paper focuses on the educational dimension of issues such as the liberal democracy dystopia and the youth democratic imaginary. It is based on Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe’s idea that a radical take is necessary for a diversity of social struggles, such as the ones against subordination, highly and timelessly relevant for young people in Europe and beyond. This article seeks to contribute to the understanding of the socio-political problems to which radical education responds and how this response can be accomplished in democratic contexts. Radical education is hereby understood in the sense of Paulo Freire as a way to unveil the alienating and oppressive reality and as a means to develop a youth democratic imaginary beyond the hegemonically established liberal-democratic canon.
