“Harnessing the power of mass movements”

During conferences the participants’ attention tends to wander after twenty minutes of presentation and after lunch. To counteract the presenters who ignored your request to only prepare ten slides, a live illustration of the key points – ‘visual facilitation’ is a marvel for keeping peoples’ attention. This can replace slides or complement text-based ones. My favourite method is to draw on an OHP transparency!
Conference drawings can also be done after the presentations and publicised for unpacking/recap sessions later. These drawings were for INTRAC’s fifth capacity building conference in the Netherlands in 2007.
