This is the first part of a triptych template. We used it during a kick-off meeting for a project on open educational resources and practices (OEP and OER). The mode of work was the following:
Firstly three facilitators joined the participants who were split up into three groups to discuss the follwing the three questions:
- Where are synergies with own work (objectives, etc.)?
- What can we bring to the project, what do we do (activities in the field of OEO/ OER) (also events!)
- The network we are involved in
The facilitators noted down the answers to all three questions on three separate flipchart papers at their table. Once the activity was finished the facilitators copied the answers from the flipchart into the branches of the tree (see photo). This way answers could be clustered.
The idea of the tree with truffels attached to the roots came from Nancy White who used it for a different meeting with us. We used the truffels to represent the different partners involved in the project.
What concept does this card represent to you? Is it something you have seen at work? Please share your thoughts.
Earlier this week I had the great privelage to attend a special TLC event, Leaning into Leanring www.sfu.ca/tlc/programming/special/general.html
I was asked to graphically record the events of the morning session and came out with the following drawing. REally started coming together at the end here, I hope to do a more modest visual summary soon.
The brain loves patterns! Drawing concrete, visual patterns like this actually helps you get better at discovering more abstract, non-visual patterns.

The middle part of the triptych template was designated to the identification of unclear points, missing links, open questions, over- or underestimations. We used the clouds for open questions. These are usually questions that will be attended to at a later stage not necessarily during the workshop. By writing them down they will not be forgotten!
We use the metaphor of mountains for challenges such as in this case:missing links or over- or underestimations. We also like to encourage the participants to take a pen and write down their thoughts. If participants are intimidated by the picture their sometimes prefer to first write on post-its as you can see in this photo. We find it helpful to use a color code with the post-its. In case one falls down you know where it belongs to. This is especially helpful if you travel with your templates;-)

Taught a student about the four types of Latin sentences we've learned in class, by using some simplistic illustrations to help him along. It worked pretty well.
Comparing, combining, and connecting things (both obvious and obscure) is a central component of creative thinking.
This image was creative in celebration of World Creativity and Innovation Week (April 15-21 every year). www.WCIW.org

p.14 Still sick, I stay in at the hotel all day while the others explore. I feel well enough the next day to see the Himalayas from a viewpoint.
p.15 Visiting a temple/monastery and making our way back down to the train station, where a begging child triggers me and I overreact. Ashamed of myself. (I like the way this page turned out—it may be my favorite.)
From Deborah:
It was an honor to do Interpretive Touch Drawing at Seeds of Compassion.
Touch Drawing is a simple yet profound process. Images are created through
the touch of fingertips on paper. The process allows for direct expression
of the soul, and can be used for deep therapeutic and spiritual purposes.
In the conference setting, I use Touch Drawing to visually portray the
content and energetic qualities of the lectures and musical performances.
Through the immediacy of the process, I can create 7- 8 drawings per hour.
These drawing were created during the Tuesday event; 'Inspiring Compassion
in Our Youth; Youth and Spiritual Connection Dialogue'. If you attended the
day or are watching it online, you can use these images to enhance the
feeling-tone of the presentations. Think of them as notes from the soul.
All these images will be posted soon on the CONFERENCE ART page at
www.touchdrawing.com. Go there if you would like to order a signed, archival
fine art print. Contact center@touchdrawing.com if you are interested in
purchasing an original or receiving permission to reproduce an image.
Drawings can be enhanced with color. A percentage of any income generated by
these images will be donated to support the ongoing work of Seeds of
Compassion.

I was invited once again by my colleagues of DG REGIO, European Commission, to visually record the two-day meeting of the European funds communicators. More than 250 communicators from across Europe gathered in a magnificent Ghent’s cloister, Belgium, to discuss the future of Cohesion Policy, learn and share the best practices to communicate the benefits of the EU funds to citizens. I thank my colleagues for inviting me to each of the biannual meetings since 2017. Since this first time we noticed that the graphic recording has become one of the most appreciated elements by the participants. The many positive feedback I receive at the event only confirm this observation. That all those who took the time to come and talk to me are also thanked.

I did some graphic recording this Saturday at The Product Summit, here in San Francisco. At the lunch break, I tweeted the completed visual from the morning. As you can see from the screenshot above, live graphic recording greatly increases engagement on social media, as well as during the event!
On 17-18 Octobre 2022, over 200 colleagues from the JRC, the European Commission’s science and knowledge department, met for the launch of their new scientific portfolios. During two half-days they discussed these new cross-functional work structures. As member of the JRC, I am proud to be part of the journey for the transformation of our ways of working, and honoured to have taken the visual notes of this event.
The first day was dedicated to the presentation of the different portfolios by the teams (the first 2 images). Colleagues spent the second day discussing the practical aspects of the portfolios in a large World Café exercise. The topics discussed were many and diverse, and interconnections between them even more numerous (the third image). As our Director-General, Stephen Quest, said in the conclusion, it’s a long journey to work in a more integrated way.
I also have a video on YouTube (youtu.be/53iBFqMgxLo) where I show the visual thinking process I used to produce the third image, the complex mindmap. #graphicrecording #visualthinking #graphicharvesting #sketchnotes #sketchingatwork #change #changemanagement #worldcafe #participatoryprocess
