In this video, we highlight the importance of civic engagement in promoting democracy and empowering citizens to take part in decision-making processes that impact their daily lives. Civic engagement is not just a tool for development; it is the foundation for building a stronger and more connected society. Through collaboration, people foster trust, cooperation, and establish social networks that support collective responsibility. Active citizenship encourages individuals to fulfill their duties toward the community. When citizens participate in activities like volunteering, public meetings, public discourse, and voting, they lay the groundwork for a healthy democracy and an active society. Watch the video to learn how we can build a better future for Syria by strengthening civic engagement.
