Next week, Cartoon Movement will be present at the International Journalism Festival in Perugia. If you're there, join CM editors Tjeerd Royaards and Emanuele Del Rosso on Friday April 21 at 2pm for the workshop The Power of Cartoons. In this workshop, cartoonists Emanuele Del Rosso and Tjeerd Royaards show the participants what makes political cartoons tick. Why are cartoons one of the first things to be banned by authoritarian regimes? Who do political leaders (especially those who don't like democracy all that much) fear what in essence is no more than a few lines on paper? Join us to find out the power of cartoons in this hands-on workshop that will challenge you to make your own political cartoon. Drawing skills are not required.

Additionally we're also hosting a side event at the festival, which we've titled Cartoonists' Cafe. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, between 5pm and 6pm, we'll be drawing live at the bar of Hotel Brufani. Join us to see how cartoons our made, to have a drink and to chat. But remember, don't feed-back the artists.
