Visual facilitation with bikablo (Online)

Even when you believe you have no artistic talent – this is where you 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 online visual facilitation training?

Charles-Louis de Maere will conduct the bikablo basics training format online, focusing on the bikablo visualization technique and its application in presentation, facilitation, recording and knowledge-sharing. Beginners and advanced visual facilitators are both warmly welcome!

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 Charles-Louis will take plenty of time to answer your questions and guide you into the world of visual language with guidance and techniques suited to fit your individual progress.

What does this mean in practice? We'll cover the following topics:

Holding the pen and drawing the line: How do I draw clean lines and structure my space on the flip chart?
Graphics and text containers: How do I create simple arrows and connecting elements from basic geometric shapes in order to present related topics? Which text containers (e.g. speech bubbles) can be used to support which kinds of messages?
Objects and symbols: How do I draw simple symbols to underline messages? What is essential, what can be left out?
People: What easy ways does bikablo® provide to draw people, roles, groups and situations?
Colour and space: What are simple and fast options to colour elements and spaces in a quick and simple way that supports the graphic structure?
Writing: how do I improve my handwriting on the flip chart to make it more legible and attractive?
Live scribing: How can I use easy step-by-step techniques to record a dialogue in real-time and enhance a recorded poster with a key visual?
Posters and settings: How do I combine the ingredients (graphics, writing, symbols, figures, and color) to create to the point visual translations of content and meaningful posters for different purposes (welcome, agenda, instructions, group work)?

How does this work online?

You will get the following material shipped at home as part of the registration, so you can experiment the training with the best material! Please Note since the first online editions in 2020, the world of worldwide shipping has become a nightmare for some. I will ship the materials from the EU to your home. If you're outside of the EU, you will be responsible for paying any applicable inbound taxes.
