Citizenship and Civic Engagement

About this book

Citizenship becomes meaningful through participation. Citizenship and Civic Engagement connects an understanding of rights and responsibilities with the practical work of building stronger communities.

Learners examine elections, civil society, social movements, solidarity, and different approaches to community action. Human rights, social justice, gender equality, and participatory development guide their consideration of community needs. The book links these perspectives with advocacy and community action planning, helping learners understand how shared decisions and sustained participation can contribute to positive social change.
