Together with the European Center of Fables in Pacanow we organized a comics event for kids - Dziecięce Spotkania z Komiksem. We presented an expo of Polish comics for children and priovided the young visitors with numerous atttractions, including drawing workshops, scenario writing masterclass (conducted by Tomasz Lew Leśniak, Tomasz Tomaszewski, Sławomir Kiełbus, Piotr Kasiński and Adam Radoń) and a variety of stands where the kids were able to draw, paint, sew, glue, ink and have their faces painted. We had a lot of fun ourselves :)
