Marek Bennett on the Comics Exchange Program in Nicaragua

Marek Bennett’s COMICS WORKSHOPS have provided discovery-based hands-on comics education for schools, libraries, and community organizations since 2002.  Bennett’s teaching and travel work has resulted in several graphic novels, including NICARAGUA COMICS TRAVEL JOURNAL (2009), SLOVAKIA: FALL IN THE HEART OF EUROPE (2011), and his current project with coffee-producing communities in Central America. [ www.MarekBennett.com ]

In this post, Bennett describes a single session in COMICS WORKSHOP’s ongoing international “Comics Exchange” program between sister towns in New England and Nicaragua.  Using the medium of comics to make his case, Bennett presents a glimpse of some of the challenges and advantages of the comics classroom in remote rural communities… or anywhere, really:
