To prove this claim, the authors draw on their experience as co-editors of the book Designing Democratic Schools and Learning Environments - A Global Perspective. The book explores almost forty cases in sixteen countries where educational initiatives have been implemented and designed to foster democratic forms of education. Using the four-frames theoretical approach by Bolman and Deal (2021), the article assesses how the process of producing a book that analyzes democratic schools and learning environments relates to the challenges faced by democratic governance. The article suggests that the difficulties and challenges of building democratic learning environments may correlate with the difficulties of sustaining and protecting a democracy. This has been highlighted through the example of the democratic book creation process that we followed. This article contributes to the broader topic of the purposes of education by examining ways in which schools and education systems can transform distributive leadership, self-governance, and student agency into key aspects of the mission of reinvigorating democracy in the twenty-first century.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen Este artículo presenta una idea simple pero profunda: las lecciones aprendidas a través del estudio de escuelas democráticas pueden ofrecer claves esenciales sobre cómo revitalizar la democracia. Para demostrar esta afirmación, los autores se basan en su experiencia como coeditores del libro Diseñando Escuelas y Entornos de Aprendizaje Democráticos - Una Perspectiva Global. El libro explora casi cuarenta casos en dieciséis países donde se han implementado iniciativas educativas diseñadas para fomentar formas democráticas de educación. Usando el enfoque teórico de cuatro dimensiones de Bolman y Deal (2021), el artículo evalúa cómo el proceso de producir un libro que analiza escuelas y entornos de aprendizaje democráticos se relaciona con los desafíos que enfrenta la gobernanza democrática. El artículo sugiere que las dificultades y desafíos de construir entornos de aprendizaje democráticos pueden correlacionarse con las dificultades de sostener y proteger una democracia. Esto ha sido destacado a través del ejemplo del proceso de creación del libro democrático que seguimos. Este artículo contribuye al tema más amplio de los propósitos de la educación al examinar formas en las que las escuelas y los sistemas educativos pueden transformar el liderazgo distributivo, la autogestión y la agencia estudiantil en aspectos clave para la misión de revitalizar la democracia en el siglo XXI.]]></p></abstract>
