Comics & Engineering: The art and science of flood defence is a one-year project that brings together Comics Youth CIC and flood engineers from the UK Environment Agency to foster resilience and connection between Merseyside communities and flood engineers. Led by young adults (16-25), the project will feature workshops, field trips, and training focused on flood defence, climate anxiety, and community engagement.
It aims to improve understanding and trust, using comics to explore flood defence history and future. Outputs include a nationally shared comic book and resources for both engineers and young people in flood risk areas.
