IT'S A SOCIAL CREATIVE IMPACT.

In light of the predominance of technology and gaming in our modern culture, children are losing opportunities to use their imaginations and connect with each other. We believe that this is a tragic loss, both for each individual child and for society as a whole. This is why we created “Comics Around the World,” a project in which children create their very own comic book and connect with other kids from different cultures.

Through Comics Around the World, adolescent students continue a previous page’s story, a page created by a class from another country. For example, students in Costa Rica continue the story designed by a class in Colombia, and so on.

Comics around the World is an amazing opportunity to stimulate childrens’ imaginations and to help fix their schools at the same time. We will be REPAIRING SCHOOLS using our architectural skills as we travel to compose the book. Money raised through the campaign will be used to fund the travel expenses of the trip, to purchase furniture, and to sponsor structural repair for schools in need.

The goal of this project is to get kids excited about reading, writing, and using their imaginations on a daily basis. The completed book will be filled with useful and exciting information about the different cultures of each country.
