Participating in civic processes Participating in the civic process involves identifying the ways in which active and informed citizens can participate within society. You will be able to explain how our democratic political and legal systems uphold our values and where they might not live up to expectations. Working within democratic processes enables us to make decisions in relation to contemporary issues and design an action plan for change in a responsible way.
