First workshop: 18th
November
Presentation of the BBCL project with discussions and different points of views around the
theme: edutainment with comics and board games. Discussions about next workshop in
Berlin and interrogation from Turkey. They have no experience in these kind of project and
prefer to let Germany start in order to prepare themselves the best they can. Moreover,
November is the best time for them
Propositions about final products and repartitions of rules : it was difficult to finish this point
and decide to have a reflexion about this point by mails
Some ideas : A game-written in strip’s comic with traditional activities from different
countries ( as for example receipts cooking from Italy , cheeses from France) but it could be
others activities in this game as handcrafts , dances, puppets, and also computer games.
Next meeting in partners countries planned: Germany the second first week of June 2011,
Turkey in November 2011, Italy in June 2012.
Europanorat (German partner’s) Present methodologic’s evaluations Presentation of Tera intercultural game: European puzzle
This puzzle has been created by Susana Gonçalves in order to make animations in schools
with children between 10 and 18. She worked with an association which help young and
disabled people and this association made wooden puzzle in order to be more respectful
toward environment. The puzzle is available for rent or sell. The point was to show to the
participants how we can play with children/teenager just with a puzzle and deliver a
concrete message without a lot of words.
Association Na animation in a gypsy camp:
Lisa and Clément started to work with a gypsy camp 6 month ago. They try to help young
gypsy to express themselves by drawing. They invited us into the gypsy camp and families
accepted to work in front of the European group. Children are working in a new comic strip,
they invented a story and they draw the characters. They also work to adapt an alphabet
book with gypsy words. This workshop has let to understand how to work with
disadvantaged people with comics, especially with young children and to exchange about
gypsy situation in each country.

Second workshop: 19th
November
All the group went in the Cité internationale de la bande dessinée local to meet the
association ADAPEI an association which help disabled person and their families. A group of
8 people (and 2 educators) came to draw and present their work in front of the group. They
explained to the group that for them it’s very important to practice arts like drawing because
its help us to develop creativity and feel confident. The European group participated to the
activity and they kept all their drawings.
This activity showed to the group how this disabled people can express themselves by art.
The social workers, educators had to innovate with new methods of communication to help
disadvantaged people in their organization. The CIBDI and ADAPEI developed alternative
approaches to integrate disadvantaged citizens into society
In the afternoon the target group changed, 8 under 18 came with 2 educators and the
European group worked with them. They are youngsters in difficulties, with judicial
problems. Victims and delinquents work together. These people don’t live in their parent’s
home but in a specific center called “Jeanne d’Arc”. Some of them don’t have any contact
with their family anymore. Each week they come to the Centre International de la Bande
Dessinée to draw something.
In this workshop the group worked around the theme of the colours. Each picture can
express something different if you change the colours. They had to represent: breaks up and
love. All the drawing have been posted.

4. Bilan
The European group had a very positive value about these workshops. They were sometimes surprised by the methods, especially in the gypsy camp, but they came back with a lot of ideas to adapt. It’s permit to have a reflexion around integration with non formals tool. All these workshops have let to recognize French tool, comics, as a tool of integration for disadvantaged people. All the group exchanges about the best way to create the final product, a lot of ideas have been mentioned but any consensus have been found. All the evaluation participants are on the whole positive and the next 3 seminaries are anticipated. Europanorat (German partner’s) collect methodologic’s evaluations
