Project, The Adventures of Daly Graphic Novels, 2017-2018

This is a Project. It was designed by Lab 619 and collaborator: Search for Common Ground-Tunisia. It is dated 2017-2018. It is a part of the department.

Tunisia

The Adventures of Daly graphic novel campaign used comic books to counter extremist recruitment that targeted especially vulnerable Tunisian youth. Each comic, centered on a different character’s experience, was developed collaboratively with local teens who reviewed the graphics, stories, and dialogue; the comic then served as a launching point for discussions about creating alternative narratives to violence. The fictionalized accounts in the novels offered stories grounded in real experiences, resulting in authentic narratives that did not revolve around extremism but could address sensitive topics and real issues facing young people in Tunisia.

It is credited The Adventures of Daly Graphic Novel examples: Courtesy of Search for Common Ground.
