Visual language and graphic facilitation workshop – Monday 2 and Tuesday 3 March, Lausanne
A new interesting workshop coming up from Sarah Clark of Clear Thinking – Clear Communication.
Monday 2 and Tuesday 3 March, Lausanne – Visual language and graphic facilitation workshop
An introduction to the techniques of using hand-drawn visuals in a range of professional contexts, including group facilitation, coaching and training. You will learn the basics of visual language and how to use a mix of simple drawings, colour, words and metaphors to develop and share ideas, record presentations and meetings, and engage and energize groups.
Thinking that you can draw is absolutely not a prerequisite— if the techniques interest you and you’re prepared to experiment, please join us. We will spend a large proportion of the day practising and sharing within the group. Engage both your right and your left brain and have fun!
The deadline for registration is 14 February.
