About Us

UK New Citizen's Past Campaigns:

Citizenship ceremonies: UK New Citizen was one of the few organisations in Britain that supported the project of citizenship ceremonies. Now a proven success, the ceremonies have become -as envisaged by UK New Citizen years ago- a powerful symbol of integration not only for the new but also the old citizens of contemporary Britain.

Not longer 'immigrants' but New Citizens:one of the first issues we started campaigning six years ago was about the need to generate a new approach for the social changes in Britain. We proposed that the concept of "New Citizens" should replace the old category of "second generation of immigrants" and especially, that of "refugee children", as a necessary step towards a more cohesive society. Nowadays, the media and political personalities are talking about new citizens; more important yet, immigrants and their decendents themselves have a growing awareness of their enhanced role and responsibility as the new citizens of modern Britain. Our campaign has indeed helped to produce another positive change!

New Citizens Institute:
a project about the future

The future is about interconnectivity and exchange. Mobile technology, Internet access and real-time technology enable us to easily contact organisations across the world. Nonetheless, can we understand our counterpart, and develop a meaningful exchange, as easily as we can contact them by telephone or email?

The New Citizens Institute wants to build a more effective bridge between British companies and the buoyant commercial and civil organisations of the biggest and more dynamic economies across the world. Building up on the experience of UK New Citizen's activities towards integration and constructive dialogue among the new British citizens in the UK, the New Citizens Institute promotes the understanding and global exchange between people and organisations beyond political and cultural differences.

In the old economy, cultural differences were just the "soft" aspects of the trade. Objectively considered less important than the "hard" and practical issues of the economic world, cultural understanding was an accesory, not an essential.

The new global economy has different imperatives...instead, in the new economy the "soft" issues may provide the key for a smooth and fruitful exchange!
