CHILDREN'S REALITY
COMICS EXHIBITION OF CHILDREN'S RIGHTS BY WEST AFRICAN AND FINNISH YOUTH
The comics exhibition was created in collaboration with the African Movement of Working Children and Youth (AMWCY) and Plan Finland. It consists of comics made by West African working children and Finnish children and youth who learned to make comics at comics workshops. Comics are an effective, affordable and influential communication tool. Through comics working children are able to tell the members and decision-makers of their community about their rights, real life situations and activities. Equally, comics offer Finnish children and youth an opportunity to deal with their thoughts, rights and real life experiences, which often escape the notice of adults.
