OZ+Graphic+Facilitation+Workshops

Return to Nancy White in OZ 2009

Workshop Description:
Are you the kind of person who loves working with groups, who is interested in finding new ways to apply your listening and recording skills, and who learns best from doing and reflecting? Are you intrigued about the role of visuals in our group interactions and learning? If so, you are invited to join a small group of like-minded people to develop your own practice in graphic recording (you can see some examples here [|http://www.flickr.com/photos/choconancy/sets/72157600503198301/)]. Graphic recording (also called graphic facilitation) at its most basic is capturing what is happening in a group or presentation. (To learn more, see [] )

This workshop will be hosted by Nancy White of Full Circle Associates. Nancy is an online and offline facilitator who has been expanding her facilitation practice to include graphics. (You can see some of Nancy's work here [|http://www.flickr.com/photos/choconancy/sets/72157603227477900/)]

The workshop will give participants a glimpse into the world of graphic recording, provide them with time to experiment and play with a range of tools and techniques, and prepare them to apply what's been learned in their own practice/work.

If you are new to the practice of graphic recording, you may want to check out the examples linked above. PLEASE NOTE: you do NOT need to be an artist to join in the fun. You will, however, be strongly encouraged to leave your inner critic at the door.

**Workshop Agenda:**
· Welcome and introductions – visually - we'll get with paper and pens right from the start · A bit about graphic recording and facilitation – the core of LISTENING · Lettering & Lines - "I Can Draw" practice · Images and icons · Organization · Pretend 5 minute talk to record · Future learning opportunities

**Supplies you may wish to bring:**
· A sketchbook · Digital camera (if you have one – we will also take pictures and share on the web) · We’ll provide a set of pens and a set of chalk, a pencil. If you want to bring your own favorite pens, please do. You may wish to put labels on them if you want to make sure they don’t get mixed in with others’ supplies

Materials:
We will provide:
 * paper
 * water based pens
 * chalk
 * examples of other materials
 * erasers
 * hand cleanser

Your Preparation:

 * Dress comfortably in clothes that you can bear to be dirtied with marker pens and/or chalk - just in case. If coming from work, bring a smock or a change of clothes.
 * I suggest you bring a note book and pen to jot down ideas. There won't be paper handouts, but lots of web based resources.
 * Consider bringing a digital camera to capture what happens
 * Come prepared to leave your inner censor and the door and welcome your inner artist (she or he may have been sleeping since Kindergarden!)
