In this text I will briefly consider the issues which form its framework. I will explain the choice of the tag: Parents-Education-Democracy, and present the circumstances in which this particular network of concepts seems to have current relevance. First, I will describe the chosen approach to the issue of the relationship between education, democracy, and the school as positioned within this interdependence. This issue has been extensively studied in social pedagogy, both in the past (see, e.g., the works by Radlińska or Wroczyński) as well as currently (see, e.g., the works by Tadeusz Plich, Mikołaj Winiarski, and many others). Next, following the lines of the aforementioned relationships and viewing parents as important for their shaping, I will show three ontologies of parent engagement which can frame the discourse on this volume’s subject matter - the parent-education-democracy triad - from multiple perspectives.
