For the ZomerWijs in de Wijk intiative of the Onderwijscentrum Gent we organized a small workshop comics reading and making for children between 8 and 12.
After a short reading of Matthew Forsythe’s Pokko heeft een trommel adapted for Kamishibai-format storytelling, we talked with them about comics and visual storytelling and invited them to make their own little fanzines, using the format templates from L’Articho, cutting-and-pasting comics, rewriting texts, drawing their own stories.
