The QUO VADIS? rubric presents the essay on the "Civism. Can youth be good citizens?", in which Vlad Pohilă proposes some reflections on what is the sense of the civic- patriotic education for Youth. Youth has the responsibility to get familiar with the spiritual values of the nation, because a good citizen of the state will become a good citizen of Europe as well. The straw vote "What does it mean to be an active citizen? The involvement of youth in the public life" which has been done on a competition basis of the high school students from Chisinau and other various places, indicates that the young generation pleads for the social activism. Iosif Moldovan and Claudia Coadă, in their research on "Participation for active and democratic citizenship", justify the degree of concern among youth for awareness and volunteer involvement in the real life, in the environment and community. The "Education for democratic citizenship in the boarding schools in Moldova" is a problem tackled by Aurelia Racu, as integration of the children with disabilities in the society constitutes an important aspect of the civic education.
