This book details the project "Digital Citizenship Education for Democratic Participation" involving approximately 400 pre-school and primary school children, their families, teachers, and community members in a Lisbon locality.

Through this book, the authors share the steps taken during the project, including the main difficulties faced and the solutions found to overcome them as well as the project's sustainability.
