Visualise Words, Embody Visuals 2.0
is a space for exploring ourselves within creative and alternative approaches, methods and techniques. It is also a space for experimenting and experiencing the combination of new approaches and implementing them into our own way of facilitating the learning process. Since the training course (TC) will start as online training, we want to make sure that you take away as much new knowledge and experience as possible. To achieve that, we will need you to prepare yourself for this experiential journey by getting familiar with (or revising) the basic techniques used in the world of Visual Thinking & Embodied Learning. Going through all the selected materials on this page will take you no more than 2 hours all together.
Embodied learningTo learn some basics about Embodied Learning we ask you to listen to the podcast with Sandra Gojić. You can download it or listen online while walking to work, doing the dishes, cleaning your apartment or just sitting in a bus.

8 Elements by Bigger Picture might show you all the principles of Graphic Facilitation. Take a paper & marker. You are going to start drawing.
Juraj studied graphic design at high school. Part of his studies were drawing lessons. For one semester he was drawing circles, squares, rectangles, triangles - later balls, cubes, blocks, cones & pyramids. In drawing it is all about practice & teaching our hands to create what our brain wants. Take 5 minutes every day (or 10 minutes every two days) and draw circles for two days, then squares for two days, etc.
