The Model
WHAT IS CITIZENSHIP?
Citizenship • Citizenship is a nebulous concept, often associated only with government, political parties, voting, and political organizations. • Civic engagement means working to make a difference in the civic life of our communities and developing the combination of knowledge, skills and values and motivation to make that difference • Democracy refers to people working together so that communities can function
Citizenship • Citizenship names the process whereby the self is responsibly connected to the environment and the community. It acknowledges the interdependence of all involved in the leadership effort. • Citizenship means more than membership; it implies active engagement of the individual and the leadership group in an effort to serve the community. It implies social or civic responsibility. • It is, in short, the value of caring about others.
Community • A community is a group of people who have some defined trait or circumstance that binds them together • So we are likely a member of a variety of communities: our country, our family, our university, our field of study, our work group, and so on
Community • According to the Social Change Model, citizenship “centers on active community participation as a result of a sense of responsibility to the communities in which we live.”
Examples of individual civic engagement • direct service • community research • advocacy and education • capacity building • political involvement • socially responsible personal and professional behavior • philanthropic giving • participation in associations
Social Capital • An essential component of citizenship – “networks, norms, and social trust that facilitate coordination and cooperation for mutual benefit” (Robert Putnam) • ‘Life is easier’ for those who live in communities that have worked to foster social capital
Discussion • Can you think of cases of destruction of communities and the consequences thereof?
“Bonding” and “Bridging” • Social capital is about the value of social networks, bonding similar people and bridging between diverse people, with norms of reciprocity. • Bonding refers to social networks between people who are similar, while bridging refers to social networks among diverse people • Bonding is useful for getting by and bridging is what is needed to get ahead
Community development process 1. Pseudo-community (a false sense of getting along), 2. Chaos (unconstructive struggle), 3. Budding organization (focus on quick fixes), 4. Community (strategies exist for allowing various voices to be heard and ideas to be considered)
Recap • Citizenship – The Social Change Model defines citizenship as, “active community participation as a result of a sense of responsibility to the communities in which people live.” • Community – various dimensions include where a group of people live, society at large, and shared identities with others • Social capital – “networks, norms, and social trust that facilitate coordination and cooperation for mutual benefit” • Bonding – refers to social networks that are limited to people who are similar • Bridging – social networks among more diverse people and interests
Discussion Why is citizenship one of key values of leadership?
