Then we give time for people to make collages, maybe write something. And after that, we collect everything and put it into one zine. Which is then printed and copies are given to the participants.
It's important that during these workshops we bring a lot of materials to make collages because it also gives new opportunities to people who fear that they cannot draw or that they cannot paint, that they are not talented enough.
Sometimes we don't do one big zine, we instead teach our participants how to make a small zine from one A4 piece of paper. You stick things together, you cut it one way and then you will have an easy, small zine. That way each participant leaves the workshop with their own object about their own topic.
It gives them the message that they are able to make this. It really gives you the sense of being able to create something in such little time. It's only your first time and you already have your own fanzine.
