Beyond Words: Graphics for Facilitators
A Visual Language Introductory Workshop

less text + more visual language = outstanding results

In an environment where information overload is growing exponentially and the world is moving at a faster speed, "Visual Language" forges bridges between those who learn best from reading (about 22%) and those who learn best from seeing and doing (about 88%).

Come and spend a day with Rob and Laurie Benn, Visual Language Consultants, who will share with you some of their 'visual language applications' that combine key text messages with graphic techniques, icons and images to increase clarity and comprehension amongst groups like participants, stakeholders, staff and board members, as they work together.

Rob and Laurie will guide you through a refreshingly active day where you'll learn (hands-on) some 'Visual Language' (VL):

• 'see' some VL history
• build a simple graphic vocabulary
• practice basics for graphic facilitation
• learn graphic techniques which convey both concrete and abstract ideas
• explore visual metaphors in visual language and their applications in facilitated activities

9:00 to 11:30 AM and 12:45 to 3:30 PM.
