The complexity of citizenship
• Citizenship as status:
– the legal contract between State and
individual, incl. nationality
• Citizenship as social role:
– The sense of belonging and inclusiveness,
focus on inter-relations

Active citizenship
• Active citizenship is no static attitude
or competence
• The meaning of active citizenship
changes in relation to lifecourse
development: it is always embedded in
different socio-cultural contexts and in specific
individual biographies.
• Chances for real participation as
precondition
Sovata, Romania, 27 – 30 June 2006
Models and Forms
of Civil Society Participation
• Civil participation through establishment of bodies, able to
collaborate with the State for provision of better and more effective
social services
• Civil participation through establishment and development of Civil
Society organisations (non-governmental organisations, non-profit,
civil, voluntary – the so called “third sector”) – contribution for the
achievement of socio – political goals
• Civil participation through direct involvement and participation of the
citizens in taking socio – political decisions (local and national
referendums, consultations with the state and local authorities,
subscription lists, meetings etc.)
