About the organization

 

World Comics India is a New Delhi-based organization working across the country to promote the use of Grassroots Comics as a medium of self-expression and strengthen democratic processes. Starting in the nineties, WCI has conducted more than 1500 comics workshops in the most remote and challenging areas of the globe and trained over 150,0000 common people. WCI empowers the community by developing their communication skills, helping to document their stories, and also raising crucial issues in the most creative and non-threatening manner. World Comics India has worked on issues like Health, Education, Homeless, Conflict, Gender, Girl Child Rights, HIV/AIDS, Environment, Corporal Punishment, Local Governance, Stereotyping, Discrimination, etc. WCI has also organized several social campaigns on various issues.


World Comics India’s (WCI) vision is to create a world where everyone can speak up for themselves and be an agent of change.

 

World Comics India’s mission is to help people raise their voice and reach by being storytellers and using media to empower themselves and create a better world. We do this by introducing media tools that can help them talk about their situation and also express their aspiration to better themselves, society, and the community. We also believe in the power of media and communication for sustainable development and hence strive to make everyone a good storyteller and communicator. Predominantly, we use comics as a medium where people can draw and express themselves thus being and becoming the voice of the unheard millions.
