The issue of citizenship warns an analysis from various theoretical and methodological interpretations that point to a multidimensional perspective and complex connotations. However, there is a certain consensus that the term citizenship refers to the belonging of individuals and social groups to a political community. This paper intends to analyze: a) what is the importance of citizenship and intercultural governance in the processes of government and construction of local public policies; b) explain how the construction of active citizenship is conceived through the so-called solidarity participation; and c) analyze what were the contributions of the Citizen Council of the Lacustrine Region of Pátzcuaro in the State of Michoacán, Mexico, towards the construction of political citizenship and intercultural governance. Using a qualitative perspective - through document review, stakeholder interviews and empirical analysis - it is argued that, to a greater or lesser extent, the creation of the Council motivated the intercultural governance that communities require to influence solidarity participation processes and built the foundations for active and supportive citizenship towards issues related to education and the environment, among other issues, community.

Keywords : Intercultural Governance; Citizenship; Michoacán; Citizen Council of the Lacustrine Region.
