Summary/Abstract: The article presents a synthetic view of civic activity in the context of a theoretical model of social participation, according to which participation as an experience of a person is constituted by: subjective justification, axiological content, sense of agency and experi-ence of participation. Among the theoretical foundations of the model is Karol Wojtyła’s theory of participation, based on his concept of a person, operationalized for the purposes of the qualitative sociological research from which the model was derived. In this study, the model is a tool enabling the presentation and explanation of the essence of civic activity as a subjective action in the community of civic life. This allows us to look at this activity from the side of the privileged area in terms of strengthening and manifesting subjectivi-ty, developed on the basis of civic values recognized as personally significant, having the status of common good.
