The SCHOOL of CARTOONING and ANIMATION for MISSIONS
Create International Taiwan is no longer running the School of Cartooning and Animation for Missions. Please consider doing our AniMissions school or the Frontier Comics Seminar instead.
The School of Cartooning and Animation for Missions (SoCAM) is a twenty-four week, second-level YWAM school, accredited with the University of the Nations (course code: CMC261/262). In many cultures, and especially within those in the 10/40 window, people prefer to receive information through pictures. Cartoons and animation can be powerful tools, particularly in Asia where people line up at stores to buy the latest comic book.
