Graphic Facilitation to Increase Participant Engagement
Graphic facilitation is a visual communication method that uses images, symbols, and illustrations to convey information and ideas. It is a dynamic and interactive way of engaging with participants, whether it’s a team of colleagues or a community of partners who bring different knowledge, skills, and experience to a meeting. Using graphics to capture the content makes it easier for everyone to understand. This method adds another layer of engagement using imaginative storytelling techniques, clever metaphors, and analogies so viewers connect with the content.
