Ready for a 13 minute ride of an entire TEDx Event? TEDx Copenhagen (http://tedxcopenhagen.dk/) took place September 18th 2012 in Bremen Theater. This is your chance to connect the dots in a timelapse video by Bigger Picture.

Ole Qvist-Sørensen of Bigger Picture was also on stage at the big event, encouraging people to draw together.

We must draw more together. We all know that a picture is worth a 1000 words. Pictures can convey complex information in a way, which is natural for our brains to grasp. Visual thinking is a gift we all have and drawing is an easy and simple way to show and involve others in understanding -- or seeing -- what we mean. Drawing together can be seen as a collective meaning-making process for a group. It's easy to learn. It's intuitive. It starts with pen, paper and curiosity.

Dan Roam is the author of bestseller ‘The Back of a Napkin’. This year he released his new book ‘Blah, Blah, Blah: what to do when words don’t work’ in which he introduces the fox and the hummingbird, representing our verbal and our visual mind. In our society, we mainly focus on the verbal mind, forgetting about our visual mind. Dan argues that those two minds need to be balanced. In his book he explains how we can learn to solve complex problems with simple pictures. He introduces ‘Vivid Grammar’, tools to help you become ‘double-minded’. Watch his video on his new book.
