Graphic facilitation workshop: Centre for Disability Studies

Person Centred Graphic Facilitation
This ‘hands on’ workshop is important for all people involved with facilitation as part of their practice - consultants, team and project leaders, managers, facilitators, trainers and educators.

During this 2-day workshop you will:

•  Enhance your graphic recording skills for PATH, ELP etc
•  Examine the use of colour, size and form to build meaningful graphics
•  Learn how to present information in a visual way
•  Reflect on your practice to see how graphics and visual thinking can support your work
•  Realise graphing is about deep listening, not being a great artist!
•  Have fun exploring your graphing ability
