Strategic objectives, 2010–2013
Over the next three years we will campaign relentlessly for the vital role that active, effective citizenship plays in strengthening our communities and our society.
We will work to achieve:
We do not see these as separate strands of work but as inter-connected processes. For instance, better citizenship education is vital to widening participation. Opportunities to participate as engaged individuals should be profoundly educative, and strong, outward-looking, effective communities emerge when participation is informed and effective.
We have made huge strides since the Citizenship Foundation was formed in 1989, with a string of major achievements including the establishment of Citizenship as a compulsory subject in secondary schools.
But we know there is much more to do. Economic, political and personal pressures seem greater than ever, and we must continually reiterate the value of citizenship education in promoting a fair and inclusive society.
