Citizenship

People Like Us believe the fundamental aims of a democratic society is to enable all citizens to participate as fully as possible in culture, economic, political and social life and the active engagement of citizens is part of the broader concept of citizenship of ensuring that people can take the project of shaping the future into their own hands.

However desirable active citizenship is to leaders throughout the UK and Europe or, perhaps more cynically however universally present the rhetoric of citizenship, many individuals lack relevant information, skills and confidence as well as access to opportunities for participation and engagement.

The People Like Us Citizenship Project tries to remedy this situation by empowering people to speak up and be heard by their peers and beyond.
