The Regional Active Citizenship Learning Alliance (RACLA) is a network for everyone involved in promoting and participating in learning for active citizenship in Yorkshire and the Humber. Active citizenship lies at the heart of strengthening democracy: empowered people, groups and communities playing an active role in shaping services and influencing decision making.

With the increasing focus on communities that are disengaged from the democratic process, and the critical need to find ways for more people to become active, engaged and empowered, RACLA may be a network whose time has come.
