World Comics Finland supports groups and individuals who have opinions on social issues, but who lack the means to make their voices heard.
Our aim is to diminish inequality, advance the rights and prospects of minorities and to support social actors building more sustainable societies. We are a politically independent and non-religious human rights oriented organization.
We have developed the Grassroots Comics method to promote the use of comics as a means of communication. This low-treshold method allows anyone to create their own comic. What matters most is the message the creator wants to share with the reader.
The Grassroots Comics method is based on the principles of open source knowledge. On this web site we offer free access to it.
Bring about a change in your community and in society! Organize Grassroots Comics workshops in a civic action group, school class or with other individuals to support their voice!
You will find suitable materials on the Training Materials page. If you want, you can ask us for advice when organizing your own Grassroots Comics workshops.
At the moment World Comics Finland organizes grassroots comics workshops and trainers’ trainings mainly in Finland. We are open to international and national collaboration. Contact us if you would like to collaborate with us to organize comics workshops or Grassroots Comics trainers’ trainings.
