About

About the
Project

Frames of Changes is an Erasmus+ training course project exploring comics and storytelling as creative tools for youth work. The project supports youth workers, educators and active young people in using visual narratives to discuss social, environmental and community challenges in a creative and accessible way.

The first training course has already taken place in Austria. Participants explored comics as educational tools, developed initial ideas and prepared comic-based activities for their local communities. The second training course will take place from 25 June to 3 July 2026 and will focus on reflection, improvement and further development of the created tools.

Context

Why this project
exists

Comics and storytelling make complex social topics more accessible, emotional and discussable. Many youth workers need practical creative methods to open dialogue around community, environmental and social challenges.

Frames of Changes responds to this need by helping participants turn visual narratives into usable educational tools for local youth work.
