See: http://www.active-citizen.org.uk Active Citizenship is...... In simple terms active citizenship is about taking part! Citizenship can be more than putting a cross in elections every few years. Individuals are capable of creating a better society through a direct and positive contribution to their communities. Find out more about Active Citizenship Active citizenship is a vital tenet of the Government's philosophy of Civil Renewal. Civil Renewal is the development of strong, active, and empowered communities, in which people are able to do things for themselves, define the problems they face, and tackle them in partnership with public bodies. Learn more about Civil Renewal About the Active Citizenship Centre The Active Citizenship Centre has been created to promote research that demonstrates the value of civil renewal and inform policymaking in this area. The Centre will aspire to showcase best practice examples of civil renewal in different fields and in different areas of the country. We will be seeking to encourage better evaluation of practice and examine 'what works' in what context. The Centre is a partnership between policy makers, academics, practitioners and citizens and is chaired by Paul Whiteley, Professor of Government at the University of Essex. It has a multi-disciplinary steering group to advise on research and best practice in civil renewal. The Active Citizenship Centre is currently virtual and functions via a number of 'hubs'. Some hubs have been specifically resourced to carry out specific projects and/or research . Others organisations are partners to help us with dissemination and seminars.
