Art and creativity support an open mind and critical thinking. Knowing this, Talking Bubbles helps young people to express their opinion about global topics like climate change, migration, or gender equality by drawing comics. Comics competitions organized in four European countries opened a space for authors to present their talent and thoughts internationally. The winners of four nationalities met for a creative summer camp in July 2022 at Sesimbra Natura Park, Portugal. The collections of winning comics make an attractive tool for communicating global topics further to the broad public by organizing exhibitions.
We believe that comics is a powerful tool for working with youth as it motivates them to analyze, think critically, and be creative. To support its usage among teachers and workers with youth, we created e-Learning, guiding them on how to start.
The project is realized in the years 2021 and 2022 by a consortium of four partners ADRA Czech Republic, ADRA Portugal, ADRA Slovenia, and Foundation Twiga, with the financial support of the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union. The Comics Competition has been financially supported by the Czech Development Agency nationally.
Foundation Twiga is encouraging everyone between 15 a 20 to participate in creative and innovative comics competition linking arts with sustainable development. Show your talent learn more about global issues and win amazing prizes.
