The Disability Resource Centre via the Northamptonshire Centre for Independent Living is offering a number of training programmes to help you become a fully trained Graphic Facilitator. The one day programme will help you to improve your listening skills when capturing discussions or conversations and will allow you to familiarise yourself with a range of tricks of the trade, using simple icons and symbols. You will be encouraged to try new techniques while improving simple drawing skills and give you the confidence to stand in front of a big piece of paper.

This programme is designed for people who work with groups  of people who want to break free of flipcharts, for people who want to learn to think more visually or for people who have been itching to jump up and grab a marker!

The workshop will cover topics like: learn how to listen for key words or relevant information, organize ideas visually, step by step instructions for drawing people, buildings, light bulbs, and lots more easy icons.

There will be plenty of time to practice recording, learn from each other, and see examples of other people’s work. We will also introduce you to the many resources that are out there ~ to inspire you, and help you continue your learning.
