Civic engagement sounds a lot to me like a community that sets a table and provides some dishes, and it's very much a potluck community meal. Then, some individuals come and have a hand in determining its ultimate flavor and nutritional value.
Civic engagement means taking a part in influencing decision making and pursuing common goals by recognizing yourself as a member of a larger social fabric, and to seek to build, sustain, reform and improve the community to which you belong.
It also means being sensitive to, understand and address the world's problems, not only for your own sake but for fellow and future citizens, because we are very much in this together.
In other words; civic engagement means taking actions that constitute a good society
