What is the point of our work?
If we are not helping each other to be citizens what
are we doing?
![Page 6: Citizenship & Creative Support](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061208/54883d67b47959ce0c8b5649/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What is citizenship?
![Page 7: Citizenship & Creative Support](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061208/54883d67b47959ce0c8b5649/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Citizenship can sound very grand, but it’s a simple idea:
We’re all equal
We’re all different
& the best society is one where we all work together to respect and value everyone
![Page 8: Citizenship & Creative Support](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061208/54883d67b47959ce0c8b5649/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Citizenship is also very practical
Everyone can be a citizen
Everyone can contribute
& the best support strengthens citizenship for all
![Page 9: Citizenship & Creative Support](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061208/54883d67b47959ce0c8b5649/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
1. Purpose• Citizen’s have a sense of
purpose - a meaningful life
• People’s sense of meaning has many sources
• We must listen and look for meaning in the right places
• We each have purpose - we just don’t always know it
![Page 10: Citizenship & Creative Support](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061208/54883d67b47959ce0c8b5649/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

2. Freedom• People have a right to be free
• But we need relationships with others to be free
• We need to provide help with information, communication and good representation
• A man in a desert is not free - he’s just alone
![Page 12: Citizenship & Creative Support](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061208/54883d67b47959ce0c8b5649/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

3. Money• People need the resources
necessary to be citizens
• The chance to earn and save
• Money for services is really the person’s entitlement
• People only do things for us for love or money - why not have both?
![Page 14: Citizenship & Creative Support](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061208/54883d67b47959ce0c8b5649/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

4. Home• People need a home of their
own
• That means living with the people we want to
• Safe, secure and private
• Going into a home - means losing your home
![Page 16: Citizenship & Creative Support](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061208/54883d67b47959ce0c8b5649/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

5. Help• Citizens need help - its not
independence that build community but dependence
• But help must be good help
• Supporters need to understand what good help demands
• If you need nobody you're no use to anybody
![Page 18: Citizenship & Creative Support](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061208/54883d67b47959ce0c8b5649/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

6. Life• Life is made by living
• Work, play, volunteering and having fun
• Life happens in community
• But it really matters that you are in the right community for you

7. Love• We all need love - life without
love is hell
• Love comes in many forms
• We need to understand how to nurture and encourage love
• Love is what creates citizenship and new citizens

Then the old Vainamoinen put this into words:!“Strange food goes down the wrong way!even in good lodging;!in his land a man's better at home loftier.!If only sweet God would grant!the kind creator allow!me to come to my own lands!the lands where I used to live!!Better in your own country!even water off your sole!than in a foreign country!honey from a golden bowl.”!!From the Finnish epic poem: The Kalevala

If we really believe in citizenship & community…
how should we work together?

What is stopping us from doing our very best?
And what can we do about it?
