Comics for Peace

Join instructor and comic artist Sarah Hynfield for a thoughtful discussion on how comics can powerfully explore themes like compassion, empathy, mental health, peace, and justice. We'll look at how these important topics are represented through storytelling and visual art—and how comics can help us connect with others’ experiences and emotions in meaningful ways.

Ages 7 – 12
