The CivicArt team has prepared a collection of good practices in artivism, which we invite you to explore in the CivicArt Library.
This is more than just a description of methods: it is an in-depth analysis of how art can serve as a tool for civic education. The materials were gathered through an open call, selected by experts, and adapted to the educational realities of Ukraine and Georgia in 2025. The manual shows that art leaves traces not only in our consciousness but also in our subconscious, influencing communities and societies in meaningful ways.
The collection presents 22 practical examples, structured around four key missions:
Environment — raising awareness of urgent ecological challenges and inspiring collective action for sustainable living.
Human Rights — building the courage and skills to defend one’s own rights and those of others.
Active Citizenship — empowering individuals to co-create fair and democratic societies using artistic tools.
Intersectional Dialogue — creating safe and inclusive spaces for people of diverse identities and backgrounds to engage and collaborate.
Each practice is presented in a clear structure, including artistic techniques, complexity level, target audience, context, objectives, and the competencies it develops. The manual concludes with a glossary of artistic methods and an overview of the project’s context.
We invite you to enjoy this reading, which we hope will spark inspiration within you.

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.
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. It was hosted by our German partners from KulturNest e.V., who introduced us to local artistic and performing arts initiatives.
