Active Citizenship concerns the participation in society of citizens and the contribution they make to it. Active Citizenship is as much about decision-making, politics, democracy and participation in the governance of communities as it is about ‘helping out´ and volunteering. However, volunteering and ‘helping out´ are also essential to supporting community well-being.
