Abstract
The article discusses the concept of civil society. The author briefly elaborates on how this concept
developed and enumerates the factors that determine its condition. The problem of social incapability
of civil behaviour in public life continues to be an issue. The author points to the era of socialism
and transformation processes as the causes of the current situation. A very important part in raising
children and youngsters as future citizens is played, among others, by schools. Formally, this happens
by means of implementing civil education. Various initiatives are launched nationwide and
across Europe to promote civil education and prepare individuals for the role of active citizens in
democratic societies. Do Polish citizens know their rights and responsibilities? Do they engage in
any forms of civil activity? Are they aware of the mechanisms that are at work in civil societies? This
article attempts to answer the question of what it means to be a citizen nowadays.
