Children and young people

Welcome to a vibrant area filled with activities for children and young people. Here you can draw, create, learn - and meet some of the illustrators and storytellers who inspire children and young readers.

Create! -Kids & Teen Zone

A creative space for children, young people and families.

Here you can draw alongside professional artists - or just sit at a table and let your imagination run wild. Take part in activities and drawing competitions with great prizes and experience the joy of creating together.

Create! is a place where children and young people can be curious, creative and part of the festival community - together with their families.

The next generation starts here

Together we inspire the next generation of readers and creators!

That's why we've created a festival area where they can meet professional artists and writers and be inspired to incorporate both drawing and reading comics into their everyday lives.

There's something for both those who are new to drawing and those who already dream of making their own comics.
The most important thing is that we are together around comics and being creative.

See you in Create! Kids & Teen Zone!

Comics promote reading enjoyment

Sitting down with a comic book can make a huge difference to children and young people's love of reading. Where a text-heavy book can seem overwhelming, comics are a more accessible approach to reading - and an important experience of success.

In a comic book, you also get great help and context through facial expressions, sound words and colors. Some children may be convinced that reading is not for them - until a comic book shows them otherwise.
