The book explores the potential of arts-based methods in education, social work, diversity education, relevant area studies, professional fields of activity, and in university and non-university education. It covers theoretical reflections, artistic interventions, teaching approaches and educational methodologies at the interface of science, art and social engagement. The diversity of the contributions illustrates how arts-based methods can open up educational spaces, provoke curiosity and enable new forms of participation. The interplay of research, activism and art creates alliances that investigate sustainable social models based on democracy and solidarity. The volume is intended as an invitation to understand and explore art not only as an object, but also as a methodological, educational and social stimulus that promotes critical thinking, educational understanding, professional action and collective transformation.
