Digital Graphic Facilitation
The process of creating visual templates and tools to inspire and focus thinking while simultaneously documenting the path of communication and learning. Additionally, it also includes adding information to support the participants by drawing simple graphics throughout the session. Live graphic facilitation documents gatherings or conversations for better understanding and so you can look back on time spent together to be able to reflect and also share with other stakeholders and community members beyond the event. Live graphics during an event or important meeting offers an additional opportunity to interact with content in a multisensory way. Visual notes are known to aid with memory retention, and to also be
