Comics in Education: When image, text, and narrative power intersect
The BiConnected workshop at Bielefeld University is aimed at teachers, trainee teachers, and students who want to discover comics as a serious medium for literary education. On 20.05.2026, a specialized room will open for a literary experience that combines language support, creativity, and narrative competence.
Reading comics means seeing stories precisely
The focus is on teaching with comics as a multifaceted genre between language art, image analysis, and cultural discourse. The workshop demonstrates through practical examples how children can be supported linguistically, creatively, and narratively. Comic features, technical terms, and suitable materials for elementary schools will be highlighted.
Didactics with aesthetic tension
The event combines subject knowledge with immediate teaching practice. Especially in the reading and mediation culture of the present, comics gain importance because they stimulate reading competence, image comprehension, and text production equally. The transfer into English classes broadens the perspective on cross-media learning and shows how flexibly the medium can be used.
A workshop for school, study, and practice
The target audience is intentionally broad: Primary school teachers, trainee teachers, and students receive a solid approach to a medium that is often underestimated but offers enormous possibilities in literary education. The presence format strengthens the direct encounter with the author through professional exchange, collegial discussion, and concrete examples from everyday teaching.
Location with campus character and good connectivity
The event location is Bielefeld University at Universitätsstraße 25. The campus is accessible via the city tram at the university stop; there are also free parking spaces available on campus. For barrier-free orientation, the university refers to its campus site plans and digital navigation via UniMaps.
Conclusion: An appointment for those who take comics didactically seriously
This workshop promises not just theory, but a lively approach to comics as a teaching medium. Those who want to rethink literary education, reading promotion, and creative methods in a school context will experience an inspiring afternoon with substance here. Mark the date now and rediscover the comic in teaching.
