Hope is our ally.
It is a line from a song ten musicians and volunteers wrote together in Nairobi during the Earth Artivists training, in June 2025. A year later, that song is still being used in their communities to talk about climate and social justice.
On Wednesday 10 June 2026, from 13:00 to 15:00 CEST, the Voices for Change consortium opens up that song on Zoom and walks you through, layer by layer, how an activism activity actually gets built.
What is “The X-Ray of an Activism Activity”
Most activism is communicated as a finished product. A campaign launches, a song drops, a community changes. But the work behind those moments stays invisible.
This webinar does the opposite. Using the Voices for Change song as the case study, we take one real activism activity and x-ray it, peeling it back through four layers:
- Artivism — what artivism is and why NGOs and the international voluntary service sector need it
- Before — how the activity was organised, the facilitation, the Earth Artivist handbook
- During — the Kenya workshop, how the song was created, the creative decisions in the room
- After — one year on, the impact in communities, the testimonies, the model that emerged
The goal is practical. By the end of the two hours, participants will have a clear understanding of how to design and run their own artivism activity, with all the moving parts visible.
Who is this for
The session is open to volunteers, member organisations, the CCIVS Youth Committee, experts and trainers, communities hosting local actions, the CCIVS Executive Committee, and policymakers working at the intersection of environmental and social justice.
The webinar is part of CCIVS’s contribution to the International Year of Volunteers 2026, and to the broader Voices for Change advocacy at EU policy level.
