POLICAL PARTICIPATION
Political participation
Political participation includes a broad range
of activities through which people develop
and express their opinions on the world and
how it is governed, and try to take part in and
shape the decisions that affect their lives.

Types of political participation :

Volunteer / donating
Writing letters
Protest
Social media campaign
Signing a petition
Volunteer
Volunteer is a person who freely offers to
take part in an enterprise or undertake a
task.
Political volunteering refers to civic
engagement, citizen participation,
political association and political party
involvement, political campaign activity,
political meeting attendance, voting, and
other participation in conventional
political activities .
 Examples
Children and Youth
Volunteers might work with kids at an orphanage
or nursery, tutor teens in English or math, or
organize sports activities for at-risk youth.

Environment
Environmental projects may have volunteers
working in an office preparing educational
materials, outside creating trails (or recycling, or
picking up trash, or planting and tending flora),
or in schools or neighborhood centers providing
community outreach.
 Personal conclusión :
Political participation is very important
today, since it is the way in which we
citizens participate in the different
decisions of our country or region, so our
decisions are taken into account, just as we
can do other things to make our opinions
known such as a petition, make a campaign
or a protest if it is the case that we do not
agree with something, so our decisions are
taken into account, and even if we are not
18 to vote, we can participate in social
networks in different campaigns to help
movements.
