Nowadays, society is shaped by individuals of different religions, ethnics or cultures. In this situation, the usage of common values may be the guarantee of a successful coexistence. We call these values “democratic values” due to the guarantee efficacy of pluralist coexistence and intercultural education has a prior role in their transmission. We wonder if gender has an influence on intercultural education and the usage of those values. In this research, we aim analyze the relation between gender and usage of democratic values. We used a sample of 493 adolescents (48.70% female, 100% white, Mage=13.91%, SD=0.29) in Tromsø (Norway). Three sorts of democratic values were assessed (primary, secondary and tertiary values). Results conclude that female adolescents use these values in the intercultural practice more than male ones. Furthermore, male and female samples concur with considering the same value as the less used in the intercultural practice, their preferences differ in choosing the most used value
