Meridiaan organizes a tour at the Comic Book Museum in Brussels for all students of the drawing contest

Saturday 20 January was a particularly colorful day for Meridiaan’s students and for Ghent’s participants of the drawing contest organized by Francolympiades and VOV. All visited the Comic Book Museum in Brussels, an event that was organised for free to reward all students for their hard work.

The trip started in Ghent, where the students took the train heading to Brussels. For some of them it was the first time on a train, so the trip itself was already an adventure. Once the students arrived at their destination, they were tour-guided through the collection. Afterwards, they could explore the museum freely.

Back in the train to Ghent, the students had animated conversations about their shared experience. The visit might just serve as inspiration for the next drawing contest. In any case, it has awakened creativity and stimulated their interest in reading.
