Concrete Park Earth Tour and Competition

Concrete Park Earth Tour and Competition | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Great article about the comic book clinics that have been in Cayo, and many other towns around Belize.  There is one week left to enter the competition.

 

"Why teach the basics of comic book creation in a country of 300,000, a country where comics are not even for sale? (the team is working to change that).  Why encourage school kids to try this medium, let alone compete in it?  Erika Alexander explains: Whether you live in the first world or the developing world, ideas are the most valuable currency there is.  Our message is that your story is unique and valuable.  Pencils and paper are cheap, and comics, whether self-printed or self-published on the web are a simple, accessible medium for expressing ideas in stories. In teaching comics creation, we are also teaching storytelling, business skills, entrepreneurship and connectivity."
