Program Objectives:This funding opportunity is to implement a week-long Department of State’s Arts Envoy Program with an American Comic Book Author on the theme “Faces of Peace – Using Comic Books to Promote a Culture of Peace in Cameroon.” The objective of the program is to engage Cameroonian comic book authors, graphic novelists, teachers, and other members of the book industry, on using comic books in particular and other art forms in general, to shape the social narrative, identify and address drivers of instability and extremism, and support the emergence of a social discourse marked by ponderation, amiability, and respect for different or dissent voices. The program will also build the capacity of authors and publishers to use comic books to enhance economic development and increase youth employment.
