About Our Activity:

As part of the international Youth Arts festival, we are hosting a zine‑making workshop where students and adults will explore how to incorporate character design, imagery, and visual storytelling into their own zines. Participants will create a zine focused on a topic they want to change or uplift in their community. Along the way, they’ll build transferable skills in imagery, creative writing, and communication skills that support them in academic, professional, and personal settings.
