creating meaning through pictures

If a picture says a thousand words, how much more learning is possible using visual images?

Rich illustration can offer a fresh perspective. Representing complex issues in a graphical format reflects back a subtly different picture and can shed new light on what people are experiencing.

Pictures come into their own with large groups, especially those with an international flavour, where many people are not working in their first language. Live graphical work can enhance learning and is engaging, dynamic and evolving.

Graphical capture takes a more literal perspective in presenting back the work of groups. Photography honours the true essence of people's contributions (much better than typing the contents of flip charts) and can help provide a fast and stimulating record of events.
