The results of the multiwavelength study of gas kinematics and star formation in NGC 4068 dwarf galaxy are presented. We performed 3-D spectroscopy of the galaxy in H-alpha line with scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer at the SAO RAS 6-m telescope and compared the obtained information about ionized and neutral (by WSRT 21 cm data) gas kinematics. We found evidence of tidal perturbation in the outer part of the gaseous disk might be caused by recently experienced a minor-merging event. In the optical and UV spectral ranges we detected a number of ongoing star formation sites and kpc-sized shell-like structures in the H-alpha emission line. The results of optical long-slit spectroscopy of several of them as well as the energy budget analysis are presented. We found that the energy distribution in optical and UV ranges shows the signs of triggering star formation occurring in most of the star formation complexes.
