Following on the success of our Visual Facilitation course at UBC Robson Square, Stina Brown and I are delighted to offer a more advanced workshop this spring! Our brand-new Advanced Facilitation course will build on the core competencies we taught in Visual Facilitation, going deeper into both the application and philosophy of visual practice. Through a combination of presentations, case studies, dialogue and hands-on practice, students will learn how to create a generative group culture and achieve breakthroughs in understanding using visual methods and processes. We will look at how to employ these techniques in frameworks such as World Café, Appreciative Inquiry and Open Space, and students will be asked to bring their own real-world cases to the course so they can put their visual facilitation skills to work immediately on projects that are meaningful to them.
Among the things we will cover in this course:
- The next level of core visual facilitation skills, including listening, advanced principles of composition, and using visual language
- Advanced use of visual metaphors to translate complex ideas into simple and effective images
- Creating customized templates and icon libraries
- How and when to use visual techniques in a variety of meeting frameworks and processes
- Coaching and feedback on students’ graphic products and processes
Please note: Though this course is primarily designed with alumni of our Visual Facilitation course in mind, anyone who has taken any course taught by me or Stina is welcome, as are professionals with previous visual facilitation training and experience.
