Europe in Panels 2.0: Dreaming Europe, Drawing Change through Participatory Comics

Europe in Panels 2.0 is a participatory youth initiative combining graphic storytelling, youth engagement, and climate action. 

Organized by Associació CRESOL in collaboration with EU Climate Pact Ambassadors across Spain (Jose Segarra Murria who is the project leader at CRESOL and other Ambassadors like Pepe Torres, David Sánchez and Ana Belén Yuste), the project delivers 20 hands-on workshops in secondary schools, reaching over 1,500 students (aged 14–18). 

The initiative features the official presentation of the educational comic "2050: The Green Challenge", with physical copies distributed to participating students and school libraries. 

Working with this comic, participants analyze 4 dystopian scenarios set in 2050 (covering environmental, economic, social, and political crises). Through group debate and creative storytelling, students co-create alternative endings and solutions, linking EU fundamental values with the European Green Deal and the EU Climate Pact. 

The activity also incorporates a pre/post survey to measure youth perceptions on climate and European governance, concluding with an open online dissemination event.
