1. Geen leeg blad, geen leeg-bladsyndroom ... Het leeg-bladsyndroom, ook wel bekend als schrijversblok, is de veelvoorkomende sensatie dat je niet weet hoe je de ...
Grafische facilitering
Begin met het tekenen van je concept, het illustreren van je slogan of het schetsen van je videostoryboard, en de rest zal volgen. Dat komt doordat je verschillende gebieden van je hersenen stimuleert, waardoor een mentaal proces op gang komt dat zichzelf voedt – en anderen, natuurlijk. ( <anchor>Grafische facilitering</anchor> is bijvoorbeeld een geweldige tool om teams te helpen ideeën te genereren door een illustrator deze visueel te laten weergeven tijdens een creatieve sessie.)

# Graphicfacilitation

The artist as an interpreter

## What is graphic facilitation?

Graphic facilitation means using imagery to boost collaborative processes.

Visualisation helps understanding and memory, and so does participation; using a graphic facilitator during work activities such as brainstorming sessions, [workshops](https://cartoonbase.com/en/resources/lexicon/creative-workshops/), debates or staff training means using both these mechanisms.

It also helps to harness collective intelligence by enabling new perspectives and fostering novel forms of interaction.

## Why do you need graphic facilitation?

All companies need effective collaboration to thrive. It can be difficult to change habits, come up with innovative ideas or improve procedures.

A graphic facilitator can play a pivotal role in jumpstarting these processes. Whether they act as a moderator, commentator, observer or analyst, the visualisation they provide of the topics discussed can be hugely effective in overcoming misunderstandings, revealing hidden connections – or adding the pinch of creativity needed to come up with new solutions.

## What will graphic facilitation look like?

Graphic facilitation can be used in both off- and online settings.

The way of interacting with participants or audiences depends on the role assigned to the facilitator:

- **Recorder**: the graphic facilitator records the content of discussions or presentations in the form of drawings. This helps to make them concrete and can often replace a lengthy explanation.
- **Commentator**: rather than drawing what he/she hears, the facilitator’s drawings are inspired by the discussions, becoming a live commentary that will, in turn, inspire new thinking among participants. Witty, ironic, touching or irreverent – expect the graphic facilitator to trigger emotions and provide food for thought.
- **Analyst**: in this scenario, the facilitator interprets interactions and draws the connections and conclusions he/she detects, effectively becoming part of the discussion.
- **Moderator**: this graphic facilitator effectively chairs or leads the discussion, jotting down words, pictures and charts as the discussion proceeds.
- **Leader**: if the illustrator(s) and participants are jointly creating visuals, such as a live fresco, the facilitator makes sure everyone gets involved and helps to orient the joint creation towards the pre-established goals.
