Poster Abstract
PULSE-ART (Promoting Understanding and Lifelong learning Successful Education through the ARTs and culture) is a project fostering Cultural Awareness and Expression (CAE) as a transversal, lifelong competence. It seeks to understand how arts-based education can strengthen democratic participation, social inclusion, and intercultural dialogue across Europe and beyond.
Through a combination of research, co-creation, and 4H stakeholders engagement, PULSE-ART develops and tests methodologies that integrate the arts into educational systems. Its seven international case studies explore how diverse art forms—such as music, performance, illustration, dance, and digital art—contribute to the development of CAE skills.
The project is structured around multi-level stakeholder engagement, coordinated through national MOSAIC HUBs and digital Observatory for Arts in Education, which connect youth, educators, artists, policymakers, cultural and educational organisations, and citizens. This participatory architecture supports the co-creation of National Action Plans and European policy recommendations, ensuring that evidence from practice informs systemic change.
PULSE-ART also produces a Professional Development Programme, supporting teachers and cultural institutions in applying art-based approaches transversally in formal, non-formal and informal education settings.
By combining arts, education, and citizen and youth participation, PULSE-ART advances an inclusive model of lifelong education that situates culture and creativity at the heart of Europe’s democratic and social transformation.
