Graphic facilitation is a process that creates real-time visual summaries of conversations by capturing ideas in words and pictures. Used in meetings, workshops and similar settings, graphic facilitation is a visual leadership tool that promotes engagement, builds awareness and creates alignment among individuals, especially when working with larger groups.
This is a beginner course in graphic facilitation. No particular drawing skills are required. You will use simple drawing techniques and materials will be provided. Together, participants and presenters will create a safe learning environment where you are free to experiment and explore new ways of communicating.
Through exercises, case studies and reflection you will gradually hone your skills and develop materials that can be used in your current work or volunteer projects. After the workshop, you will be able to create visual presentations, plan a project visually, and help lead the members of your organization or team in meaningful dialogue and reflection. Learn More.
