Onlineprinters supports art therapy for refugee children

Donation presented to Refugio

Comic jam: Wall calendars for a good cause

The donated money comes from the proceeds of selling a wall calendar which Onlineprinters produced in autumn 2016 based on a so-called comic jam. 14 comic artists from all over Germany were invited to tell the serial story of the "last-minute hero" which has probably occurred in the same or a similar way in countless offices: A paper jam causes stress and other terrible incidents knock over time schedules and jeopardise entire projects. For twelve weeks there was a sequel each week. Each instalment was designed as a calendar page for every month of 2017. Only 200 copies were available through the online shop.

Art therapy for child refugees

"Bringing colour to people's lives. That is what we do at Onlineprinters. But let's not forget that there are children and teenagers who had to flee war and terror at home, some alone and others with their family, and they have all experienced terrible things. We want to help them. We believe that Refugio's approach deserves our support," Onlineprinters CEO Dr. Michael Fries explains his company's commitment to the association.
