About this Event

Bring your ideas to life with techniques that make them pop. Visualization 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. Whether you are a beginner or a more advanced visual facilitator, you are welcome to attend! This workshop will be led by Jill Langer (bikablo® global trainer for Canada). 

What to expect in the two-day training... In the 2-day training, you will become familiar with the basic building blocks of the bikablo® technique (graphic elements, containers, people, and symbols) and how to combine them to create custom logos and simple diagrams.
