Trainers: Lida Tsene, Eva Hilhorst
iMEdD, in collaboration with the international organisation Drawing the Times and the Athens Comics Library are organising a specialised workshop aimed at familiarising participants with the practice of graphic journalism.
How can we use the narrative medium of comics in journalism? How can we make interesting stories by combining words and images in the same way a graphic novel does?
The workshop, which will be completed in a cycle of four sessions, is a combination of theory and practical application, and at the end all participants will create their own graphic journalism story.
It is aimed at experienced professionals, young journalists, as well as journalism students, and is conducted in English and is free of charge upon registration.
