What I hope to do is…• Show that the everyone can be a citizen
• Suggest some practical steps that service providers can take to support citizenship
• Help you see yourselves as innovators who are already making change happen
• Encourage you to challenge yourselves and society to go further

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.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061208/54883d67b47959ce0c8b5649/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What is citizenship?
![Page 7: Citizenship & Creative Support](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/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.vdocuments.net/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.vdocuments.net/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.vdocuments.net/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.vdocuments.net/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.vdocuments.net/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.vdocuments.net/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.vdocuments.net/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
![Page 20: Citizenship & Creative Support](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061208/54883d67b47959ce0c8b5649/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

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
![Page 22: Citizenship & Creative Support](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061208/54883d67b47959ce0c8b5649/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

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

In order to create there must be a dynamic force, and what force is more potent than love?!!

how should we work together?

And what can we do about it?
