With joy and excitement, we present our Methodology Guide — a practical tool for youth workers, educators, and activists who want to combine civic education with artistic practices.
The guide brings together the experience of partners from Ukraine, Georgia, Germany, and Spain, offering concrete methods for working with young people through art. Here you will find context descriptions and methodology, ready-to-use training session plans, theoretical materials, and practical tips for facilitators.
The guide consists of seven chapters covering the full journey from theory to practice:
Each chapter ends with a Quick Reference Card — a summary card with key ideas that’s convenient to use when preparing sessions.
You don’t need to read the guide from cover to cover. You can choose a chapter or specific activity depending on your needs. Each session includes a clear aim, learning outcomes, step-by-step instructions, and a list of required materials.
By completing each chapter, you can earn a digital Open Badge through the Cities of Learning platform, confirming your learning.
The Methodology Guide is available in Ukrainian, Georgian, and English. You can download it from our website in the “Library” section.

In March 2025, CivicArt brought together young changemakers from across borders in Berlin to explore the power of artivism – where art becomes a tool for civic education, dialogue and transformation. This documentary captures the full journey – creative workshops, inspiring conversations, moments of reflection and the spirit of collective action.
From March 25 to 31, 2025, 15 participants from Ukraine and Georgia, along with partners from Spain and Germany, took part in a study visit in Berlin. The visit was organized with the financial support of the European Union as part of the CivicArt project.
