A New Approach to Non-Formal Education
Through comics, storytelling and creative activities, we help children and young people develop creativity, critical thinking, reading literacy and the ability to make independent decisions.
Since 2023, we have been dedicated to developing comic creativity among children and young people. We want to show them that learning does not have to be about long explanations and passive listening, but can happen through stories, imagination, creation and decisions that encourage critical thinking.
Our educational programmes connect art, storytelling and learning. Participants work with text and images, create their own characters and stories, discuss ideas and search for their own solutions.
We organise programmes in libraries, schools, cultural institutions and public events across Slovakia.
Learning where children are not only listeners
Our programmes encourage children and young people to create, think, discuss and find their own solutions. They discover new knowledge through comic stories and creative tasks.
For us, comics are not only a creative outcome, but a tool for education.

Our impact
Our experience in practice
Over the past years, we have organised dozens of workshops in libraries, schools, cultural institutions and public events across Slovakia. Each programme is adapted to the age of participants, the topic and the needs of the organiser.
Comic workshops
How does a comic workshop work?
The workshop guides participants through the process of creating their own short comic story – from the first idea and character creation to the final comic scene and presentation.
Introduction to comics
Participants discover basic comic concepts, characters, storytelling and visual language.
From idea to story
They create their own characters, situations and simple story structures.
Creating a comic scene
With our guidance, participants transform their ideas into their own comic page.
Presentation and feedback
Participants present their work and discuss their creative decisions.
What does the organiser provide?
A projector or screen, tables and chairs for participants and basic drawing materials. Specific requirements are always agreed according to the venue and type of workshop.
