Event Concours international de BD autour de la biodiversité

BE INSPIRED - BE POSITIVE and imagine what could be the future relationships between Humans and Nature

A comics contest is organized before the event on the topic: “What positive visions for biodiversity in the future?”

It will make the link with the larger public and especially the Youth and will also connect with Belgian culture as comics is an important Belgian “heritage”. Artistic sensitivity and inspiration may bring some new solutions and ideas to scientists and stakeholders.
