Who participated in the workshops?
The DYCLC serves the Dixwell area of New Haven, so most of the participants were from that neighborhood. Additionally, students from the High Meadow School, an institute for troubled youths, trekked to the DYCLC from neighboring Hamden. The Museum of Cartoon Art serves Pittsburgh’s general population. It shared facilities and attendance with the Children’s Museum. Braddock, the HSC, and Shadyside B&G specialized in afterschool programs for disadvantaged youths. People’s Oakland focuses on helping adult mental health populations. • What is the CCP Module? The CCP Module is a generalization of the comic project. While the sessions and workshops are focused on teaching kids how to write comics, the modules are designed to bring comics into other environments, such as health education and math. Modules use many of the same templates as the sessions and workshops, but the emphasis is less on the comics themselves and more on encouraging students to write about various topics and concepts. •
