Workshop: Sketchnoting - The Swiss Army Knife for Exploring, Documenting and Crystallising Ideas

Sketchnoting - The Swiss Army Knife for Exploring, Documenting and Crystallising Ideas

What if...

... there was an easy, yet super effective way of helping your brain think and supporting communication?
... there was a methodology which allowed you to learn in an easier and more sustainable way?
... I told you that this tool is called Sketchnoting?
... I told you on top of that, that you are already in this very minute fully capable of everything you need to produce your first Sketchnote?
 

Maybe you´ve already heard about Graphic Recording, Visual Facilitation, Bullet Journaling, Handlettering and other Buzzwords? Well, these are the brothers, sisters, cousins, uncles, nieces and grandparents of Sketchnoting. So in some way they are related. They overlap, yet they are not the same.

Sketchnoting is the art of taking notes by using words AND visual elements. That is why Sketchnoting is sometimes also referred to as Visual Note-Taking.
There are many potential applications for this technique. You can capture the essence of lectures, meetings or your favorite Pod-Cast. In addition, you can use those techniques to keep a diary traveling a new country or boiling down your favorite recipe or even the latest research down to its essence - so that it fits well onto on single sheet of paper and even your grandma or your 5-year-old child would immediately get it.
 

This workshop is perfect for you, if you are part of the administrative staff of the WU and would like to improve your learning/memory performance through Sketchnoting as well as discover the art of real time visualisation.

To participate in this workshop you neither need any drawing skills nor consider yourself creative.
