Citizenship


The exercise of citizenship involves a great deal of  practices young people can and must carry out, which transcend the responsibility and the right to choose democratic governors through the vote. It  also implies being able to actively participate on the community entities of all kind, inter relating to other people and become fully right subjects.
Our societies, marked by an important adult centrism often deny, reduce and/or hindrance the new generation’s recognition and right  to a fully exercise of citizenship.

You can also speak of cultural citizenship, social citizenship, individual citizenship, emancipatory citizenship, each one referred to a human activity area.
