3. We together - Local and global citizenship Profile of an Active Citizen: please see the previous page. Social action: this refers to transformative action through ‘civil’ society (joining together with others to manage our shared lives) or ‘civic’ society (formally engaging the ruling powers or decision-makers of the community). Active Citizens encourages action that is principled, well planned and aware of global-local links. Community: Community in Active Citizens generally refers to a geographic locality (local, regional, national, international) or a community of interest (e.g. women, youth, Islam, business, arts etc.) which interact around shared interests and values.

Planning Delivery Recommendations Work with your organisation and the British Council to plan a strategy for delivering Active Citizens. Who will your target group be and why? How will you ensure the programme is attractive and responds to the needs of the community? Will involving the wider community enable you to deliver better outcomes? Consider your target group and decide a location and a timeline for delivery (decide if you will deliver the local workshop over a period of time or in one go). Adapt and culturalise the toolkit workshop activities for your facilitation style and community. Introduce new activities and approaches and share your adaptations with other facilitators and the British Council. Find out if your community will be linked to other communities globally. Are there any common themes that you can work on? This could support sharing and learning. Plan your approach to selecting participants for international travel. Only a few Active Citizens from your group will have the opportunity to travel internationally. Agree a selection policy with the Active Citizens which is fair and equitable. Choose Active Citizens who are committed to sharing their learning locally and who demonstrate commitment to social action. Emphasise that there are many ways for Active Citizens to link globally without travelling internationally. Plan in advance your approach to supporting and mentoring social action. How will you do this? Do people in your organisation or community have skills in this area? Do you need further support? Can you involve mentors?
