Abstract
This paper integrates research on citizenship education and
argumentation studies, positing that argumentative dialogue
holds the potential to foster dynamic citizenship, which is
essential in the co-creation of cities. Our contribution has a dual
purpose. Firstly, we discuss the theoretical interrelation between
argumentation studies and dynamic citizenship, focusing on
the concept of ‘collaborative argumentation’, and taking the
Toolkit for Educating to a Dynamic Citizenship project (TEDYC),
addressed to young people aged 12 to 18, as an exemplar of this
interrelation. Second, based on qualitative results from a test
phase of the TEDYC project, we identify empirically what aspects
related to argumentation emerge as prominently important
for dynamic citizenship. Based on our findings, we discuss the
importance of two aspects: promoting ‘inventio’ (discovering
arguments) and reflecting on the delicate role of non-canonical
third participants in argumentative discussions on the coconstruction of cities.
