Promotion in Action:

STENCIL-ART COMIC STRIP

Together, the YLC and Le Sac à Mots have collaborated with artist Ramon Vitesse, Cultural Agent for Cowansville on a project to reach people with low literacy skills. Using a stencil-art comic strip, the message is clear: ‘’We can help you read better’’. Ramon’s artwork was launched at the Festivale de la Bande Dessiné (Comic Strip Festival) held in Cowansville, December 1st - 7th. The promotion plan is to distribute bags and posters imprinted with the comic strip and contact information.
