Written by David Reyero García

The article gathers the contributions from theory of education can be done to the discussion about the value of the collective identities that usually is only confronted from the political or philosophical point of view. From education some contributions can be done that help us to identify criteria that favour the personal development offered by concrete forms to live the collective identity as the idea of nation and the idea of culture. The purpose is to find educative criteria to live the membership to a human group so that this one becomes a moral community and an important piece for its development and not in a totalitarian and reducing element.
