Courageous Citizens celebrates the capacity of individuals and small groups to contribute to social change through culture and art. The book focuses on those whose daring, sharing, and inventing contribute to our collective future, and for whom culture and democracy are the starting points for vision and action. The cycle of (re-)thinking, doing, and changing that is inherent in remodelling the way we see the world and concurrently the potential of culture to contribute to positive social change, is addressed through three key themes: I - Diversity and Equality; II - Communities and Democracy; III - Fragmentation and Solidarity.
