Fresh from the CivicArt Lab training, Lilia from the Kebetas Association didn’t wait long to put what they had learned into practice. Back to Ukraine, she organised two creative workshops for local youth — and the results spoke for themselves.
The first workshop centred on the theme of togetherness. Using local newspapers as raw material, participants created collaborative collages around one guiding question: where do we see unity in our community? What made the process remarkable was not just the art itself, but the way people worked — building on each other’s ideas, responding and complementing rather than creating in isolation. Through this simple format, genuine reflections emerged about mutual support, shared experiences, and facing common challenges together.
The second workshop shifted focus to safety and protection — what these concepts mean in everyday life and how young people experience them. Through games, drawing, and imaginative exercises, participants explored what truly matters to them and found the courage to talk about it openly.
Both events showed the same thing: art is not just a creative outlet. It is a space for honest dialogue, a way to surface voices that might otherwise go unheard, and a tool for building community strength — one collage, one drawing, one conversation at a time.
