FCC volunteers, in collaboration with the
Esther Koplowitz foundation, have planned
a series of workshops for the residents of
the “Nuestra Casa” retirement home in Co-
llado Villalba.
Comic book workshop
On 27 October, thanks to the collaboration
of our colleague Jesús Miguel Alonso Pé-
rez, a comic book workshop was inaugura-
ted. Jesús Miguel is a mining engineer and
the head of the R+D+i department of the
FCC Group subsidiary Proyectos y Servi-
cios.
The workshop was divided into three day
sessions. In the first one, attended by the
twenty-five residents of “Nuestra Casa”, a
theoretical presentation was made on the
world of comic books, their origin, evolu-
tion, and other aspects.
A real leisure and cultural alternative
According to Jesús Miguel, the key objec-
tive of this workshop was to present comic
at the Nuestra Casa de Collado
Villalba, Madrid retirement home
Comic book

workshops
books as a real leisure and cultural alterna-
tive, covering different styles and themes,
with a quality comparable to conventional
literature or films.
For generations, comic books have brought
the world of reading to children. The intent
of this workshop, however, was to show
that it is a very good format for any type of
individual thanks to the illustration/text inte-
raction which makes it easy to read and to
comprehend.
