Graphic facilitation

Graphic facilitation is when someone helps people understand ideas by drawing pictures.

Imagine you are playing with your crayons and you have a really fun story you want to tell your friends. When you draw pictures to help your friends understand your story, that is a bit like graphic facilitation!

When grown-up people use graphic facilitation, they might use special markers and draw colorful pictures on big paper or a whiteboard. They might also ask lots of questions and listen carefully to what people are saying. This helps them understand the ideas better so they can draw pictures that make it easier for everyone to understand.

People often use graphic facilitation in meetings or workshops when they need to share lots of ideas or make decisions together. By drawing pictures, everyone can see and understand more clearly.

It's like making a map to help show people where to go. If you're in a new place, a map can help you find your way around. Graphic facilitation makes ideas easier to understand, so people can work together better!
