The South Dublin County Active Citizenship Week takes place from 27th September to 1st October.

The aim of Active Citizenship Week is to promote and celebrate the wonderful contribution made by our citizens to the daily life of  South Dublin County  and to encourage the positive participation of those who are not already involved.  

We are asking community and voluntary organisations plus businesses in the county to consider organising an event or a celebration to promote citizenship during the week.   Below you will find some helpful guidelines for organisations planning an Active Citizenship Event:  

1. Brainstorm
Take some time with colleagues within your organisation/group to discuss ideas for Active Citizenship Week considering the issues that are most relevant to your area. 

2. Plan Your Event
Decide what type of event you would like to host (see over for some ideas). Common active citizenship themes include:  

• Environmental Responsibility 
• Social responsibility 
• Civic responsibility 
• Volunteering 
• Political Engagement 
• Corporate Social Responsibility.

Decide where and when you will host your event and how you will promote it in your local area.

 

3. Register Your Event

Register your event with us by filling the form below.  All event registrations received before the Friday 18th September 2010 will be listed in the Active Citizenship event guide which will be published on various websites across the county and in media releases. It is the responsibility of event organisers to ensure the information provided for their event is accurate and correct.
