Description

The course is for people who are involved in teaching and training of students or adults. The methods are particularly relevant, where learners/students are expected to participate and form their own opinion and develop critical thinking, e.g. in relation to philosophy, social/political issues, well-being of the group, or personal development.

 

This training offers different visual techniques, particularly working with picture cards and graphic facilitation as a way to enhance learning, motivation and involvement during your teaching and training activities.

 

The course will be highly practical giving the participant a chance to practice graphic drawing skills, creating visuals, using and developing metaphors etc. We will start from the basic simple figures and move towards more complex templates and colouring. We will try to apply the ideas to the practice of the participants and practice concrete questioning techniques to explore the visuals, stimulate involvement, reflection and critical thinking The participant will gain an ability to plan and use visuals as well as graphic facilitation as part of their teaching and training practice and they will get feedback along the way.

Learning objectives

The course will give you ...

  • An understanding of the benefits of visual aids in teaching and training
  • Concrete drawing skills as part of graphic facilitation
  • An understanding of social constructionist, systems and appreciative approaches to change and learning
  • An insight into the importance of involvement, dialogue and the right questions
  • An ability to reflect on the power of the facilitator and the illustrator and how to use this power ethically
  • An ability to plan and facilitate learning processes using visual means

Methodology & assessment

The course will be based on current research on visuals as well as learning and change - particularly social constructionist, systemic and appreciative approaches. In spite of the theoretical basis, the training will be highly practical. The course will consist of a mix of short theoretical inputs, concrete exercises, a lot of drawing and group discussions. It is believed that the only way to learn about graphic facilitation is by getting a pen in the hand and trying to ask the right questions along the way. All participants will get feedback on their attempts and will be coached on your ideas of implementing them at home.
