Actief burgerschap en activerende organisaties in de wijk

Evelien Tonkens

The ball is in your court. Today citizens are expected to play an active role in solving society’s big problems. We hope that neighbourhood elders and mentoring projects will reduce tensions between population groups; that civic initiatives, neighbourhood budgets and citizen forums will bridge the gap between citizens and government; and that volunteers and informal carers will be able to alleviate some of the isolation that many seniors experience. It used to be that we expected government to take action, then we turned to the market. How is that the torch has been passed to private citizens? How realistic are these expectations? Evelien Tonkens argues that active citizenship demands active organisations. This book explains the call to active citizenship and gives professionals, policymakers and advisors points of reference with which to position and assess projects and initiatives.
