What is Open Citizenship?
Open Citizenship is a cutting-edge magazine and journal produced for and by people concerned with citizenship, political participation and migration in Europe.
What we focus on
Each edition focuses in on a different aspect of citizenship. Topics as diverse as European identity, urban citizenship and sustainability have been covered. You can find out more here.
What’s so special?
We break down the barriers of publishing, and bring together academic articles with profiles of activist movements. Top that off with interviews and editorial pieces and you’ve got a totally different kind of journal – one that’s not afraid to ask big questions and find the right way to answer them.
You’ll see one of these icons at the top of each article, which should identify what kind of piece it is:

How we’re published

What can you do?
We encourage our readers to contribute and get involved any way they can: submit an essay, review or get involved in a movement.
Who we are
Open Citizenship is organised by Citizens For Europe (CFE), a Berlin based non-profit NGO. CFE promotes the development of a participatory and 
inclusive European Union, and focuses on issues of citizenship, diversity, migration and political participation in the EU. Its transnational projects include online voting platforms, local street campaigns, international conferences, academic research and publications as well as interactive workshops.

Some more history
Open Citizenship started out in 2010 primarily as a paper journal. It now produces work online, some of which will be collected into journal once we’re ready to publish it.
