Why Comics? Educational Charity brings contemporary humanitarian and social issues (such as racism, conflict, migration, trafficking and climate
change) into the classroom through interactive literary comic books based on real-life testimony.
Our resources build empathy and enhance learning for 7-18-year-old students and teachers alike, alongside national-curriculum relevant lesson
plans to support multiple subjects.
