The present study uses a story constellation to explore the experiences of a group of students participating in their high school in an urban city in Central Chile. Because these experiences were motivated by the students' participation in the student movement outside of their high school, they were not considered in any school or policy guidelines. Consequently, we argue for the value of this constellation as a counterstory that invites to acknowledge how students participate beyond institutional and citizenship policy guidelines and to recognize the contribution of their experiences in the pursuit of democratic thick forms of education and citizenship.
