This block of activities is aimed at raising awareness of the role of art and artivism in the development of civic education, demonstrating successful examples of artivism, and inspiring the use of project products.

The meeting will be aimed at formalizing the international CivicArt Alliance network. The event brings together representatives of the Consortium and their partners, including representatives of formal education institutions, artists, and youth NGOs that participated in the project activities. The total number of participants is 20 persons.

Local activities are scheduled for the first half of 2026. Participants of the study visit and training course will have the opportunity to practice the newly developed competencies in their communities.

Estimated timeframe – April-June 2026. The campaign is part of the follow-up training activities. Participants will be invited to create digital artistic content that contains an educational component.

The estimated date of the training is February 2026. The call for participants will be announced in October 2025. The training will aim to strengthen the capacity of youth workers from Ukraine and Georgia to implement non-formal civic education activities through artistic tools.

As part of the CivicArt Project, a group of 12 youth workers from Ukraine and Georgia embarked on an enriching study visit to Berlin, Germany, to explore the practical experience of German colleagues in organizing and coordinating art-based civic education activities.
