Discover the bikablo® technique and learn how to visually communicate your ideas!

At bikablo® workshops you learn the skills and methods needed to visualise ideas. Whether you work as a facilitator, consultant, manager or specialist, you learn a visual language along with methods you can use in your work. You don’t need to be good at drawing because the bikablo® technique can be learnt and used by anyone, regardless of their level of creativity or artistic inclination!

With pictograms, figures and graphic elements of the bikablo technique, you will learn the basic elements of visual language, and how to use them in order to facilitate conversations and present ideas on flipcharts. You will be guided through a step by step process and by the end of the training you will draw your first posters, which you can use the very next day.
