Civic engagement can counteract political disenchantment by fostering a sense of community and empowering individuals to take an active role in democracy. By participating in local initiatives, advocacy, and public discussions, citizens can reclaim agency over governance and influence decision-making processes. Engaged citizens help to cultivate an informed electorate and can motivate others to also participate. This proactive involvement can lead to stronger political institutions and increased trust in the system, ultimately reducing feelings of disillusionment.
