Dekko Comics run talks and workshops, where we visit your school, library or institution and teach alternative ways to learn. For example, how to transform information into entertainment for a variety of learners. The purpose of this is to provide a practical tool for better engagement in classrooms and/or working environments. The workshops are based on the Dekko Technique, a method developed by Dekko Comics’ founder Rossie Stone to help him overcome his dyslexic struggles at school and boost his self-esteem. These are highly practical, interactive workshops where Dekko Comics shares its story and teaches the art of transforming a distraction into a solution.
Dekko Workshops, combined with teachings of the Dekko Technique, have been delivered in over 100 schools across the UK since 2017. In addition to our work in schools, Dekko Comics has provided celebrated workshops for a number of organisations over the years including:
“We had the most amazing evening, it was a privilege to meet him and hear him speak. What an inspiration.”
“Your talk had such a profound effect on him. Everything you said, he was nodding along to in recognition and I can’t tell you how much this helped him seeing a young adult speaking his ‘launguage’. ”

Sharing a story
Dekko Comics shares the story of how Rossie Stone struggled at school with dyslexia, disengagement and (particularly when exams surfaced) a lack of confidence. They discuss how a self-embracing discovery Rossie made after years of disappointment and low grades despite a supportive school, changed everything for him. How Rossie obtained his first grade A from having more fun with his studies, and more…

Turning even the dullest work into entertainment
After the talk, students are then taken through a demonstration of how easily they can apply the Dekko Technique and concept to their own work. Dekko Comics provides some practical demonstrations and then prompts students to have a try themselves, with guidance and encouragement. DRAWING SKILL IS NOT REQUIRED (or even drawing, for that matter).
