As above: Working, thinking and learning visually recently has become a field of increasing significance and rapid growth. Visual Facilitation can be seen as the combination and application of text, shapes and imagery to illustrate content and to create meaning in order to support the transfer of knowledge and ideas. It makes learning and working more playful and helps us in dealing with complexity. It increases common understanding within teams and fosters group engagement and collective memory. Visual language can be applied to a large number of activities in the field of (non formal) education and/or learning, such as: Personal notes, flipcharts, presentations, mind-maps, large scale process visualizations, etc. During this creative and hands-on training experience we brought together an international group of 20 educational practitioners ? from Austria, Bulgaria, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Hungary - active in the field of (non-formal and formal) education who have a strong motivation to develop visual competences and facilitation skills to support learning of others and working together. Through an experiential learning process with practical and theoretical inputs, a huge variety of interactive, collaborative and creative tasks and exercises as well as moments of reflection and feedback the participants: ? Got familiar with the basic elements of visual language, ? Learned to visualize ideas, concepts and processes ? Created their personal visual vocabulary ? Improved visual thinking skills and presentation techniques ? Developed concrete visual tools for professional application
