An Active Role in Society

The competences required for people to become involved in sustainable public engagement are closely related to universal key competences, but they distinguish themselves in one regard: Civic involvement is an idea based on normative aspects. It promotes those skills that allow people to become active, responsible citizens in a society that respects the rights and the involvement of its individuals and fundamental democratic values.

On a European level, the Council of Europe promotes the combined approach of "Education for Democratic Citizenship and Human Rights Education. more

More than a lot of other educational approaches citizenship education is an active approach, combining knowledge, attitude and active engagement. As such, the approach also has some points of connection to other action- and impact-oriented learning opportunities, such as Entrepreneurship Education or Cultural Education.

Therefore, the approach is integrating into other pedagogies that accompany social transformations, such as sustainable development or digital transformation. In example, "digital citizenship essentially means learning to live as a citizen in today’s highly digitised society" (Council of Europe) or Education for Sustainable development entails to "take informed decisions and make responsible actions for environmental integrity, economic viability and a just society" (UNESCO).
