IMPORTANCE:
Active Citizenship for the
community 2021
Active citizenship means citizens
taking opportunities to become actively
involved in defining and tackling the
problems of their communities.
A good citizen is normally the type of
person who works hard, helps others
and respects the law.
Active citizenship allows for:
o Participation in the community
o Empowering people to influence the
decisions which affect their lives
o Knowledge and understanding of
the political, social, and economic
context of their participation so that
they can make informed decisions
o Able to challenge existing structures
Change Your Country for
the Better, as we understand it,
active citizenship is a combination of
knowledge, attitude, skills and actions that
aim to contribute to building and
maintaining a democratic society.
Active Citizenship supports democratic
cooperation that is based on the
acceptance of universal human rights and
the rule of law, values diversity and
includes the whole community.
Education towards gaining this knowledge
and developing and practicing the skills
take place in all levels of our shared social
life, but schools play a very important role
in it.
Active citizenship has a crucial role to
play in this context to allow citizens to
interrogate real solutions to problems
rather than indulging in scapegoating,
discrimination and other tactics peddled by
extremists.
As citizen-activists the world over merge, they can become an irresistible force to create peace and protect the planet. From here will come a new
movement to abolish nuclear weapons and all weapons of mass destruction. From here will come the demand for sustainable communities, for new
systems of energy, transportation and commerce. From here comes the future rushing in on us. How does one acquire the capacity for active citizenship?

INFOGRAPHIC
ILLUSTRATION:
Importance of Active Citizenship in the community.
Reasons why people don’t actually participate on this
type of community programs.
The ideology of Peoples’ activeness and motivation
of making a move to change the community.
JOKER makes uncomfortable
viewing– it shows how society creates
extremists
People who commit acts of violence on
behalf of an ideology don’t imagine
themselves as lonely, depressed, unattractive,
and physically weak men
And so there is a deep hypocrisy in certain
responses to Joker, a film which, in the end,
contains far fewer scenes of violence.
“Young people must be included from birth. A
society that cuts itself off from its youth severs its
lifeline; it is condemned to bleed to death.
- Kofi Annan
Active citizenship means people getting involved
in their local communities and democracy at all
levels, from towns to cities to nationwide activity.
Active citizenship can be as small as a campaign to
clean up your street or as big as educating young
people about democratic values, skills and
participation.
The biggest difficulties involved in joining a
community group are usually in our own heads.
1. I’m not sure I want to join
This is the big one. There’s no point joining unless you
are clear about what attracts you to the cause.
2. I have nothing to offer
Newcomers to a group often hold back from offering
anything because they assume that everybody else,
having been there longer, knows best.
3. It’s too much work
We often hold back from joining a group because we
fear that, for the campaign to succeed, we will have to
give up more time, and do more work, than we can
manage.
