Formulation of the problem. Due to the relevance of civic education for young people, in particular high school students, an integrated course of Civic Education was included in the main curriculum. However, there is a problem of lack of a holistic approach, a system of motivation to study the subject, and formal education’s limited resources. There is currently a need to intensify civic education through the involvement of the students in practice. The performance of the course and the level of civic education will increase significantly if it is implemented in addition to formal education, in a non-formal one. The article answers the question of how to make the process of training an active citizen more integral and more efficient. Materials and methods. The experience of Ukrainian public organizations in the implementation of civic education projects through participatory artistic practices is used. The analysis of pedagogical, sociological, and scientific-methodological literature on the education of civic position of youth in the system of formal and non-formal education is applied. Results. The model of participatory artistic practices is described as a modern tool of civic education and civic action in terms of their multi-agent structure, which includes the cooperation of students, educators, artists, school administration, local government representatives, the general community. The methods and approaches to civic education programs are presented. The organizational algorithm of the participatory art practice with elements of civic education is specified. Conclusions. The existing integrated curriculum for Civic Education, implemented in the tenth grade, needs practical support through the field of non-formal education. This possibility is provided by the algorithms of civic education projects through participatory artistic practices that are implemented in extracurricular time. The introduced cases show the high efficiency of such practices in ensuring the civic competencies of young people. Participation in such practices provides students with the formation of cross-cutting competencies, which are revealed through social activity, social responsibility, tolerance, the ability to advocate their thoughts and positions, the ability to interact both horizontally and vertically.
