For ages 12-18
Join graphic novel author and artist Kate Gavino for a virtual workshop that explores the highs and lows of being bilingual, whether you’re perfectly fluent in many languages or struggling to get by in more than one. By making our own short comics, we’ll explore different language personalities, un-translatable words, and more. Come prepared to share a little about your second (or third or fourth) tongue, but don’t worry: there’s no need to be perfectly fluent in those languages. In fact, misunderstandings and mix-ups will be encouraged in our comics!
