Description

You will be introduced to the Visionautic way of thinking, experiment with and reflect on a variety of multisensual approaches and methods for a rich, colourful and creative facilitation style. After seven workshop days you will be the proud owner of an ample multisensual toolkit which includes:

• How to prepare a creative setting and an activating surrounding.
• How to create an atmosphere of fun and experimental learning.
• How to work with Visionautic material to develop and share ideas: maps, logbooks, inspirations, props, etc.
• How to visualize and sensualize complexity: graphic recording, graphic facilitation, evolution lines, sociometric exercises, models etc.
• How to set memory anchors in your body: arrow breaking, magnetic pictures, circular empowerment etc.
• Exercises with rhythm, voice and dance to improve communication.
• Multisensual tools to stimulate meaningful dialogues: instant paintings, picture archives, impro theater exercises etc.
• Small interventions to turn everyday’s situations into magic events.
• Innovative forms of presentation and giving feedback.

Target group

Facilitators, trainers, teachers who want to… ... present complex issues in an easy understandable way. ... create learning experiences with a great deal of fun and variety. ... access intuition and creativity as a resource for learning. ... activate the memories of their learners in a more effective and longer lasting way. ... immerse complete persons into a learning process, not only the heads. ... experience that their own teaching nourishes and enriches themselves.

Experience based, multisensual, experimental, appreciative, contextualized.

You will be immersed into a learning process on three layers:

1. From the perspective of a learner: Experiencing, understanding and feeling all methods from the inside.
2. From the perspective of a facilitator: Giving a session alone or in a small group on a selected topic, gaining facilitation experience, trying out new styles and getting feedback for it.
3. From the meta-perspective: Deepening your understanding by reflecting on the methods and transferring them to the needs of your individual context.

 A collection of trainers’ materials will support you to easily facilitate all experienced methods at home (except for arrow-breaking)
