Manga is a genre of comics originating in Japan that has gained worldwide popularity. The word "manga" literally means "comic strip" in Japanese, but it is often used to describe a specific style of illustration that has become synonymous with Japanese comics. The manga artistic movement is characterised by expressive facial features, exaggerated characters and exciting stories that span many genres, such as science fiction, fantasy, romance and comedy. The mangaka, or manga author, is an artist who creates manga. They are often highly talented and passionate about their work. Mangaka are often real stars in Japan. Manga has become an important part of Japanese culture and is much appreciated by Japanese of all ages. Although manga originated in Japan, it is now appreciated all over the world and has influenced many artists and comic strip writers across the globe.

Art, considered to be the soul of education, is particularly highlighted in visual creation courses. These courses are particularly beneficial for students interested in illustration, whether manga, comic books, Belgian comics or other genres. They help them to develop their creativity, their sense of observation, their dexterity and their ability to express themselves visually. Manga illustration courses, in particular, are an excellent opportunity for students to master the drawing techniques specific to this artistic movement. They can also deepen their understanding of art history and aesthetics, which is essential for any aspiring artist. The visual arts courses also cover crucial elements such as colour, composition and perspective, which are essential aspects in the creation of quality artistic works. In this way, students can acquire new skills and improve their drawing technique. Finally, visual arts courses also offer students the opportunity to work in groups and collaborate with other artists. This social dimension is an important aspect, as it allows artists to enrich each other by sharing their know-how and creativity. In short, visual arts courses are an excellent way for students to develop their creativity, deepen their understanding of art history and acquire the technical skills needed to produce quality works of art. Art is a field with many possibilities, and visual arts courses are a great way to discover this fascinating world.

Camp and therapy in the great outdoors Therapeutic camps for children in Switzerland are educational and recreational programmes designed to help children overcome emotional and psychological problems. They often incorporate artistic activity, particularly drawing and illustration, as a therapeutic means of helping young people express their emotions. These camps are run by qualified counsellors who are trained to provide effective therapy for children. During their stay at the camp, children are encouraged to participate in group activities and to interact with other children in order to strengthen their social skills. The activities on offer vary from camp centre to camp centre, but often include activities such as sports, illustration, painting or outdoor activities in nature, with horses for example (particularly in spring and autumn). Therapeutic camps for children in Switzerland aim to provide a safe and fun environment where they can connect with other young people while receiving effective therapy.

One of the best-known events in France for fans of manga and pop-culture is Japan Expo, held every year in Paris. It's a chance for fans to meet artists, publishers, authors and cosplayers, and take part in workshops and conferences. A father recently told us about his experience: he took his two children, a son and a daughter, to Japan Expo, and all three came back delighted. Before this visit, the son was a circus performer and the daughter was passionate about theatre. They were both training in Veyrier in the canton of Geneva. Since Japan Expo, they've discovered a fascinating world and have changed direction. The son started drawing manga, while the daughter took up cosplay. As for the father, he discovered One Piece and fell in love with the story. "I'm delighted to have found a passion to share with them, who are also fans of One Piece. It's a universe that brings us together and allows us to spend unforgettable moments together," he declared. So the manga has an inter-generational dimension, allowing members of the same family to share a common passion, not bad at all ;).
