As part of the European Year of Youth, the Maison de l’Europe in Montpellier has created a comic strip highlighting the different ways young people can get involved or benefit from mobility through European exchange programs such as Erasmus+. To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Franco-German friendship and its relationship with Heidelberg, the rights for a German publication were ceded to the city of Heidelberg. Now the comic is being presented by the author as part of the Heidelberg 2023 Europe Weeks organized by the city’s Europe Office. Based on the comic strip, the event will also provide teenagers and young adults with very practical tips and information for stays in other European countries.
The comic was written by Margot Naepels, a staff member at the Maison de l’Europe: She is responsible there for the European programs for young people. Laetitia Dedieu illustrated the comic: Passionate about drawing, she decided to attend the Saint-Luc School of Art in Brussels in 2022 after graduating with a bachelor’s degree.
