This is an important step towards the stabilization of civic engagement, which now has an important social function. is
from civil or civil society much expected. It is true that Bode, Evers & Klein noted that there are still "world of difference between vision and reality of everyday life, from conceptual designs and sociological reflection, between the political reform agenda and the operational conditions of the initiatives and organizations on the ground" (2009: 7) in place, but is now possibly drive the participation in discussion. The first congress of the national forum for engagement and participation are already starting to set accents in many fields.

Participation experts have made a now almost confusing topic. It ranges from the development trends of new fields of engagement (such as: care, hospice, food / consumer) on cooperation of voluntary agencies, family offices, self-help agencies, community foundations, staff positions on issues of communication and public relations ü about charitable issues, limitations of liability, financial support opportunities up to the sometimes challenging relationship between work and dedication. Gender issues are also not without interest. Sun Hiltrud wetting has described the risk that women would be forced out in the voluntary sector or civil society, while in the still significant institutions continue to have men call the shots.
Also, the demographic change is an important issue in the context of civic engagement.
Finally, ask if the G-8 schools, the Bologna process in higher education and increasing mobility requirements Workers do not lead to a dangerous erosion of volunteering because the volunteers did not have more time, as described by Wolfgang specialist in the field of policy is very critical.
