Further more, the active participation of individuals in the social, political, and economic affairs of their communities and society as a whole. It involves young taking responsibility for shaping their communities and contributing to the common good through various means, such as voting, volunteering, attending public meetings, joining advocacy groups, and in our case through arts and culture. Civic engagement is not limited to political activities but encompasses a broad range of actions that aim to bring about positive change and improve the quality of life for everyone. It is an essential pillar of society, as it empowers individuals to have a voice, exercise their rights, and actively contribute to the development and progress of their surrounding.
