Description"Being a governmental institution, the child protection system concerns all citizens. Thus, understanding and debate at the individual, mediatic and political levels are necessary for it to be preserved and improved.
Yet, foster care is a complex system often opaque to the general public. Documents on the subject are in many cases only tackled from a particular angle and/or targeted to professionals.
How can visual communication create accessibility and engagement with such a topic?
This thesis explores illustration and storytelling strategies as tools to create empathy in the reader while conveying complexity and different points of view. The background work is based on testimonies, interviews and scientific publications.
Two books are presented as results of this study."
