About Civic Sense Scorer
Understanding and measuring civic responsibility for a better world
Our Mission
The Civic Sense Scorer project aims to raise awareness about civic responsibility and its impact on society. We believe that small actions by individuals can collectively transform communities, cities, and nations.
By providing a fun, engaging way to assess civic awareness, we hope to encourage self-reflection and inspire positive behavioral changes that benefit everyone.
