Catalogue information
Promotional album. The glued version was intended for students of the 6th grade of primary education in Flanders. The album was available for free. The comic was realized by Kids2 on the initiative of the Wood Training Center, on behalf of the Belgian wood and furniture sector. The comic strip "Hout Retaining" was distributed through education in both national languages (129,000 copies in total) on 2 February 2007 as an appendix to the magazine "Zonneland" / "Tremplin" (February 2007, no.16), in which an 8- pages extra file "Wood is everywhere!" is included: Grow! - Live and let live - Planks and plates - Sawing, planing, sanding - Work on the shop (professions) - Neatly finished. The 44 pages show the adventures of teens Thomas and Jelena in the fictional town of Uptown. On the extra last 4 pages of the comic, information is provided about the sustainable and renewable properties of the raw material wood (based on the wood cycle) and about the training and employment opportunities that the wood and furniture sector has to offer.
