I am not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world. Socrates Warming up: Please discuss freely about whether or not you have ever heard about the concept of Active European Citizenship and what citizenship in general and European citizenship in particular mean to you. Listen / Read 2.1.1. The idea of an active citizenship The idea of an active citizenship is not new but can be traced back to ancient Greece, where the philosopher Aristotle was the first to develop a theory about citizenship.

Even though citizenship was based more on the obligations towards the city government than on the rights of the individual citizen, the obligations did not take the form of legal orders, but were considered as an option to serve the community and to gain the resulting respect. In the 1700s there was a redrafting of the citizenship concept. The beginning of industrialisation and the spread of the market economy started to create large social changes. These changes were both results as well as catalysts due to the enormous gap that existed between the traditional absolute monarchies at the time and the new progressive sense of citizenship - which among other things finally led to the French Revolution in 1789.
