TED: How to be an active citizen and spark change | Gabriel Marmentini

The video explores the concept of citizenship, emphasizing that it is not an inherent status but something earned through life experiences. The speaker discusses the lack of citizenship preparation in Brazil and introduces a 'citizen metamorphosis process' with four key ingredients: political knowledge, plural dialogue, civil empathy, and community protagonism. Practical examples of applying these principles are provided, highlighting the potential for individuals to become changemakers. The video concludes with a call to action for systemic change, starting with raising children as citizens.
