PSHE and Citizenship

Citizenship

' No one is born a good citizen, no nation is born a democracy. Rather both are processes that continue to evolve over a lifetime. Young people must be included from birth. A society that cuts itself off from its youth severs its lifeline. ' - Kofi Anan (Secretary-General, United Nations)
