From Confusing conversations
The term “active citizenship” means a society where citizens contribute to organising the society by continous and responsible acting. This may happen both individually (commitment for society) and collectively in the context of citizens´ groups, institutionalized civil society, or in the educational sector (learning by commitment). Active citizenship may happen in different spheres of the local, regional, or international levels and makes participation possible.
