How will ENGAGE advance social cohesion?
Social cohesion is better attained through the active participation of all citizens in all spheres of society, economy and politics. It is also fostered through the cultivation and preservation of a public culture that values all citizens regardless of their religious, racial or ethnic backgrounds. In an effort to improve citizen participation the government has added teaching on active citizenship to the national curriculum in England and Wales. ENGAGE aims to encourage and enable active citizenship by British Muslims.
