“Citizen, citizenship”
Civil society as an element of social policy, is the leading topic of the conference ‘Citizen, Citizenship’, to which you are invited by the A. Gieysztor Academy in Pułtusk, a branch of Vistula University.
In the twenty-first century, the discussion of civil society reached a different level. One of the elements of shaping the new social policy has been the social economy, which fits in with the idea of building participatory democracy, through a new vision of social order and the integration of local communities. The role of the social economy in construction, especially participatory democracy, cannot be overestimated, due to the new qualitative bonding of both social and economic ties in the area of one institution.
These are the issues that will be devoted to the conference ‘Citizen, Citizen, Citizenship’, to which you are invited by the A. Gieysztor Academy in Pułtusk, a branch of Vistula University. The event will take place on October the 18th in the Concert Hall of the Dom Polonii in Pułtusk. Beginning at 10:30 am.
