If you have ever watched someone drawing you may have found yourself becoming completely absorbed as the picture develops. It is a great way to capture attention and is a powerful device for communicating.
Cartoons are an excellent way to make learning fun and ideas memorable, whether you are helping others or learning for yourself. Yet many people have a strongly held belief that they cannot draw.
Who is 'Cartooning for Presenters' for?
It’s ideal for anyone who needs to get ideas across with impact! The programme is ideally suited to trainers, presenters, teachers, coaches and facilitators. In fact anyone who is involved with helping others to learn or facilitating group work of any kind will find this practical workshop to be immediately applicable. You may not believe this yet – but no drawing experience is required for success on the workshop.
