A one-day grassroots comics workshop was held in Bamako,
Mali, in November 2010,
for ten employees of MFC Nyetaa, an NGO on
environment. Many of the participants told they had no previous experience from
drawing.
However, after some exercises, they were able to produce convincing
comics about development issues. They were very positive about using comics as
a tool in their future activities in which awareness raising about the
sustainable use of natural resources plays a central role.
The workshop was run by Ms. Heidi Leino (NGO activist and a member of World
Comics Finland) who is also involved in the Grassroots Comics School Visitor
-programme with the Youth Academy
in Finland.
The comic below was made in the Bamako
workshop by Lasseni Traore.
