Whereas classical ways of political participation and debating are generally declining, apparently new ways of civic participation or of struggling for acceptance, space and resources are evolving particularly in cities. Some expressions of cultural activism are: guerrilla gardening, theatre interventions in public spaces, graffiti or fashion. They reflect political statements on the one hand and depict processes of appropriation on the other; due to their own type of aesthetics, they facilitate the evolvement of parallel urban spaces and alternative exclusivities. The workshop discussion will focus on the question how cultural and citizenship education can accompany these processes.
