Being born into a particular nation is nothing but serendipity. Coincidence decides which national identity and possibilities we have in life. But what if we could make a conscious decision about the kind of nation we want to belong to? What if we could complement our nationality of birth with a social citizenship that we choose based on values? That would be citizenship by choice. Let Christopher Peterka lead you into the idea of social citizenship and how that could change our world.
