In this sense, this initiative had the general objective of revealing the imaginary meanings of child participation and citizenship that girls and boys built during the implementation of the 206 super transformed ideas selected for the 2022 version of the program; pretending this way to contribute to the project from the theoretical bet of the social imaginaries of Cornelius Castoriadis (1979) and the emphasis of history, imaginaries and social representations of the Master's Degree in Childhood and Culture; for the analysis of the scope of the program and the execution of future versions. Understanding child participation and citizenship as social constructs, this research work was developed from the qualitative paradigm with an interpretive approach and resorting to the use of the phenomenological method; seeking to rescue mainly the voices, perceptions and experiences of the girls and boys participating in the PNNEA in their 2022 cohort. The information collection technique that was implemented was the documentary source, resorting mainly to the general systematization of the project and other information collected and systematized within the framework of its development between the months of October 2022 and March 2023, consisting of the systematization of the super ideas, the pedagogical accompaniment records, the photographic record and the iconographies of the participating girls and boys. As a tool, analysis matrices were developed that allowed the arraztives collected to be categorized into representations, desires, affections, and actions and, in turn, to carry out the analysis around the categories of child participation and citizenship.
