Zines are mini, self-published magazines that can cover any topic—from politics to underground music to personal stories. In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore how zines serve as an accessible, DIY way to share information and spark conversations. The session includes a brief introduction to zine history, basic storytelling structure (introduction, elaboration, conclusion), and time to create your own zine using provided materials. In a summit centered on youth-driven solutions, zines offer a powerful way to democratise media and amplify grassroots voices.
