The CAS “Artistic Literacy” opens up new perspectives on one's own educational, communicative, and artistic activities and opens up doors to shaping of our cultural world with others. Participants are introduced to artistic, communicative, and educational strategies. They acquire the ability to make creative encounters effective for social processes. The topics offered integrate methods from the fields of communication, digitality, fine arts, design, art education and participatory practices. The courses may be combined to form an individual continuing education program. The CAS is modular and allows for a further education tailored to the individual needs of the participants. "Artistic Literacy" is conducted with experienced international arts and culture professionals, facilitators, artists, and lecturers from the HGK.
