Description
A young inexperienced teacher takes the big step from a small art school to a huge institution for young adults. We meet the uptight, strict teacher who sees the school as a factory and the mellow, seen-it-all-before type, who’s just holding out for retirement. In the melting pot of this environment, a modern teacher is created.
A harsh satire based on the Author’s own experience as a teacher — coming out in Autumn 2023.

“Learning for Life” is Simon Petersen’s next graphic novel after the highly acclaimed “Punk Life Crisis”, which won the Claus Deleuran Award for Best Danish Book in December 2022.
