The relationship with politics represents a very important result of socialization and collective learning processes. In fact, the stability of the political structures of a society also depends on the ability to reproduce throughout new generations, some basic attitudes such as the concept of authority and feelings towards it a sense of belonging to one's own community, in order to encourage a common support towards the political system. The process through a which values are formed is a complex one, in that different mechanisms combine and interact. As a consequence the effect of this process not only sum up, but also combine without an a priori settlement of the result. On one hand, militancy and interest for politics reduce, on the other hand the number of young people, who occasionally take part in politics increases. In this scenario examples of good praxis inspire us to rediscover how important the pedagogical care of political participation is. Therefore, it is necessary not only to get to know oneself better and better, within wider participative context, and to be aware of one's own identity resources, but it is also important to get to know other people to tolerate and respect differences. We must be prepared to accept other cultural models as sources for inner richness and question our own in the first place. All this give us the possibility to develop an intercultural logic whose goal is not the omologation, but the multiplicity of cultures, through an socio-pedagogical interaction, which tends to define the participative process as a necessary element of a collective learning process.
