What is the current state of comics education in Finland in 2025? How diverse is it? What does the future of comics education look like? For which target groups should the teaching be organised and why, and under what conditions?
In the panel “Future Visions of Comics Education,” the future of teaching will be discussed among professionals in the field.
Participants in the panel include Matti Hagelberg (comics expression minor, Aalto ARTS & scriptwriting, Comics Center), Tessa Astre (Liminka Art School), Mikko Jylhä (Liminka Art School), and Sami Aho (Muurla Institute, comics & illustration). They will be joined by a teacher from the Finnish Comics Society’s Comics Center.
The discussion will be moderated by Kalle Keinonen (education coordinator, Comics Center).
