A successful partnership with the Grand-Est Region

In 2023, Cartooning for Peace is delighted to renew its partnership with the Grand-Est Region for the third consecutive year.

Thanks to this partnership, the exhibition “Dessine moi l’égalité des genres” (Draw me Gender Equality) was launched at the beginning of January 2023, accompanied by an educational booklet.

In 2023, 12 high schools in the region receive the exhibition and work on the theme of gender equality (6 schools from March to June and 6 others from September to November).
At the beginning of March, the teachers in charge of the project met at the Hôtel de Région in Metz for an awareness-raising session on the exhibition and on teaching through press cartoons, accompanied by Cartooning for Peace.

In addition, the Cartooning for Peace educational team raised the awareness of young ambassadors from the first 6 high schools so that they could accompany the exhibition and the projects supervised by their teachers to their fellow students in their schools.

As part of this project, high school students are also invited to participate in the Cartooning for Peace call for contribution of cartoons by young people: #CartoonYouthChallenge #cartooningforwomen, from 8 March to 25 November. Learn more about the challenge here.

The inauguration of the “Draw me Gender Equality” exhibition and the launch of the project, organised by the Grand-Est Region, takes place on 8 March 2023, International Women’s Rights Day, at the Lycée Stoessel in Mulhouse, where the first workshop-meeting of the project will also be held, accompanied by the press cartoonist Rodho (France).

The kick-off is given! See you on 15 November 2023 for the project’s restitution.
