February marked the beginning of the final phase for the Democracy Panels project, focusing on evaluation and dissemination. Team members met twice to reflect on the journey—assessing how the Comics Guide was received across different audiences and preparing for the closing exhibition. The group reviewed its outreach in schools, community events, and public spaces, confirming that the guide had not only informed but inspired action, creativity, and dialogue. With support from local institutions, planning began for public exhibitions in Tyrnavos and Larissa, aiming to present the comics as both a collective youth creation and a civic education tool.

A highlight of the month was a warm and joyful creative writing workshop held in local schools for parents and children. About 30 participants joined the youth team and project coach for an evening of storytelling, imagination, and laughter. Through fun writing exercises and group activities, families explored themes of democracy and everyday life, creating short stories and characters together. The workshop became a space of connection between generations—bridging values, creativity, and community spirit. As the project nears its close, moments like this show how shared creativity can plant lasting seeds of participation and togetherness.
