OBJECTIVES: The aim of the article is to present the philosophical concept of state and
democratic citizenship in working with social service clients based on a reflection of the professional
practice of social work students in Norway. THEORETICAL BASE: The theoretical basis of the
concept of citizenship in social work supports the concept of active citizenship, the principle of
social justice and the theory of recognition. METHODS: In the process of analysing reports and
reflections of social work students, we used content analysis and open coding, through which
we identified individual topics and categories. OUTCOMES: Two main categories have been
identified: 1. description of the course of applying the concept of citizenship in working with
social service clients, 2. benefits and importance of applying the concept of citizenship. The
key findings appeal in particular to the creation of a relationship with clients, the promotion of
clients’ own resources and the active participation of the client in social care. SOCIAL WORK IMPLICATIONS: The text forms a coherent set of findings about the philosophical concept of
citizenship in the theory of social work. The method of education within the specialised training
of Norwegian students can serve as an example and inspiration for the application of the concept
of citizenship in the practice of social work.
