For those in France (or near it), a new conjuration of graphic facilitators was born this year: FCcp, which stands for "Facilitation Graphique, communauté de praticiens".

La Facilitation Graphique est une discipline récente. Vous trouverez sur ici un blog traitant de la facilitation graphiques, des exemples de réalisation et plus.

Deconstructing Graphic Facilitation

 

clipped from web.mac.com Learning to facilitate using a shared visual workspace. A Class with Christine Valenza and Tom Benthin September 29 & 30, 2007 (with a half day followup session in January, 2008) Sausalito, California Deconstructing Graphic Facilitation is an introductory workshop that teaches the skills necessary to facilitate a group through the use of a shared visual workspace. By creating and refining a display that makes and holds a group’s thinking visible as it does its work, graphic facilitators are able to help groups function more smoothly, more effectively and achieve results more quickly. Because of the central role that using a shared visual workspace plays, this workshop will focus on its use as a primary facilitation tool, fusing the traditional roles of facilitator and graphic recorder into one.

Ye Olde Survey

I am conducting a poll to gauge the ease or difficulty that the graphic facilitation community has in describing what they do for a living.

(Usually, I wind up telling people I doodle for dollars.)
