Importance of Civic Education

Civic education fosters active citizenship. What do you think active citizenship is?

CE promotes social cohesion, when people from different genders, races, religions, tribes, and backgrounds can live together in peace and harmony because they feel belonging and connection. Being citizens of the same nation is a strong basis for social cohesion, but that is not always what happens in real life. Talk about anything you have seen or heard around you about social cohesion in your country. Do we have this or not in your country? Why?

In what ways can you respect a classmate from a different family background, religion, residence, or tribe from yours?
