The Comic Book Project

Comic books written, designed, and published by youths.

The Comic Book Project is an arts-based literacy and learning initiative that has reached over 250,000 youths around the world. The goal of the project is to help children forge an alternative pathway to literacy by writing, designing, and publishing original comic books. The Comic Book Project puts children in the role of creators, rather than merely receivers of information. Children write and draw about their personal experiences and interests, thereby engaging them in the learning process and motivating them to succeed in school, after school, and in life.

Here's a great article from the US Department of State about our international work this year.

In 2019, ECA's Collaboratory partnered with the nonprofit organization, the Comic Book Project (CBP), to support two innovative comic diplomacy programs.
