Graphic Novelists Expert Training
Novi Sad, Serbia
22-23 January 2025
We are happy to announce the call for the Graphic Novelists Expert Training Workshop in Novi Sad, Serbia. The training will take place from January 22 until January 23, 2025, with January 21 as the day of early arrivals. We will share the program with the selected participants in more detail. On the evening of January 23, the participants can choose to participate in the public event dedicated to the commemoration of the Novi Sad Raid, a mass crime committed by Hungarian Fascists against predominantly Jewish and Serbian civilians in Novi Sad in 1941.
About the Project
In partnership with Terraforming, Intercultural Institute Timișoara, and the Arolsen Archives, EuroClio – European Association of History Educators is leading the project, Facts Not Fiction – Young Historians Show How to Learn from the Past.
This project is addressed to history educators and other professionals and institutions in the field of memorialization. The aim is to train students and youth groups to research local histories of persecution during the Nazi era and develop their own end products based on these findings. Among the students’ creations are a graphic novel, a podcast, a heritage tour and an exhibition. Related to this, we are organizing several training workshops with experts on these topics.
Who are we looking for?
For this particular event, we are looking for graphic novelists, illustrators, scriptwriters, and other creators interested in depicting the stories from the Second World War following contemporary pedagogical guidelines. Those interested in the history of totalitarianism, the Holocaust memorial, and mid-20th century histories of migration and persecution should definitely apply. However, those with little background in the Second World War as well as those with experience in other related areas are also encouraged to submit an application.
How can you apply to join us?
Please send us a letter of motivation detailing your interest in the training, including an explanation of relevant projects you have worked on. Please also attach a copy of your CV and send both to contact@terraforming.org
Who can apply?
Based on project partners, this opportunity is intended for individuals residing in Germany, Serbia, the Netherlands, Romania, and Finland.
The main objectives of the Graphic Novelists Expert Training are:
- Build the capacity of professional graphic novelists that produce public history in the field of Holocaust history and education
- Foster peer-learning among professional graphic novelists
- Develop educational animations for young people to show how graphic novels can be used as a tool to introduce public history

The day of arrival will be January 21, and the workshop will end on January 23 in the afternoon. Therefore, two nights of accommodation will be covered. For those who choose to participate in the public event on the evening of January 23, we will cover the third night, and they will travel home on January 24.
