In this report, the collection of innovative methods that foster critical cultural literacy are presented. The document provide readers with a variety of ideas, procedures, activities, devices and tools open to be modified and adjusted. In addition, this report encompasses several multimethod research paradigms with a strong element of participant-researcher collaboration and creation. It draws on research designs from a diversity of fields, such as arts-based research, co-design, participatory action research and/or dialogic research approaches. Linked to the identification of community-based research methods is also the identification of examples of critically informed arts education interventons, which aims toward the advancement of critical cultural literacy from school and community contexts across Europe.

Each method had to meet three requirements; i) fostering critical cultural literacy and being fuelled by a concept of culture grounded on social interaction, ii) entailing experimental participatory acrtivities by criss-crossing arts-based strategis and socially engaged interventions or research, and iii) having a pedagogical purpose, whether in schools or communities.
