Bring your ideas to life with techniques that make them pop!
bikablo® Visual Facilitation Basics Workshop in Montreal May 10-11, 2018

Visualisation and visual facilitation are methods that make content and process visible in real time. In presentations, workshops, coaching sessions, training and meetings – whenever people engage in dialogue, are working together and want to learn from each other in an impactful way. the bikablo® technique opens the door to the world of visual thinking and dialogue.

We’re excited to bring bikablo® back to Canada for this exciting introductory workshop. Andrea Rawanschad, a bikablo® facilitator and trainer, will conduct an introductory 2-day-training, focusing on learning the bikablo® visualization technique and its application in presentation, facilitation, recording and knowledge-sharing. Whether you are a beginner or a more advanced visual facilitator, you will be welcome!

Even if you believe you have no artistic talent, in this workshop you’ll learn the basic visual vocabulary and ingredients for visualization with the bikablo® technique. For example, drawing simple flip chart templates that you can use in your work the next day!

What to expect in our two-day visual facilitation training

No matter how small or big your talent or experience, you will learn how to use small details to make large spaces look clear, attractive, and lively. You will be working in small groups and our trainer will take plenty of time to answer your questions and guide you into the world of visual language with guidance and techniques suited fit your individual progress.
