  • The objective of this chapter is to reflect on the importance of the construction of the concept of democratic citizenship in the secondary education classrooms in Spain through heritage education in both formal and non-formal educational contexts. The authors approach this question from different perspectives that somehow reflect the interdisciplinarity proper to this topic. The reflections and educational proposals collected are articulated through two educational scenarios: the school and the city, taken as environments with great educational potential. Beyond the issue of the setting, this chapter also discusses how and with what instruments civic competence should be worked with students. In this sense, heritage is presented as an excellent learning tool for the construction of a democratic society as well as identitary wealth
