2-day Visual Facilitation Workshop - May 11-12, Washington DC
Hey subscribers! Think With Ink is not just a blog, it’s also a 2-day workshop on visual facilitation! The next workshop will be May 11 and 12 in the DC area. It will show you the essentials of using visuals modalities to facilitate groups. The workshop will cover:
1. Charting Technique: markers, handling big paper, color use, lettering, basic drawing, shapes, layouts, listening for synthesis, and
2. Visual Modalities: visual energizers and icebreakers, meeting principles and ground rules, and visual tools for brainstorming ideas, comparing ideas, and collaboratively deciding the way forward.
This workshop is perfect for:
• The facilitator who wants to build a repertoire of visual tools,
• The note taker or scribe who wants to build their visual vocabulary,
• The team member who wants to bring visual, participatory methods to the team, and
• The consultant who wants to help clients solve problems in a visual way.
This hands-on, practice-driven workshop will give you everything you need to visually facilitate groups through the toughest challenges.
Hope you will join us!

FAQs
Will this teach me to facilitate using large paper, markers, and visual templates?
Yes.
Will this teach me to graphic record?
Graphic recording or scribing is large-scale visual notetaking for groups. By contrast, visual facilitation is using large scale visual modalities to help move a group through a process. Although you can apply many of the visual facilitation methods in Think With Ink to graphic recording, we will focus on facilitated visual modalities rather than on the aesthetics of graphic recording.
