[April 2026 Study Session <Intensive!! Facili-Graphic Edition> (4/3)] Notice of Facilitation Graphic Study Session (No. 220)
This is a study session on facilitation graphics, a technique for visualizing the content of discussions and meetings. Since facilitation graphics involve many skills within the broader field of facilitation, you will be able to do it more effectively the more you practice.
In this study session, the first half will be dedicated to practicing the basics, and the program will include plenty of
intensive practice on writing while listening.
We would like to invite a wide range of people who are interested in facilitation graphics to participate.
Please join us!

<Wikipedia Citation>
When facilitating, this refers to recording and diagramming statements to align the participants' understanding of 'what (the subject of discussion) and how (the structure of the discussion) they are talking about.' There are various methods.
However, this is a coined term used only in Japan; in English, it is correctly called graphic facilitation.
It is used in various settings such as meetings and community development workshops. By using whiteboards, large paper, etc., and taking records so that all participants on the spot can see them, the following effects can be expected:
1. You can get an overview of the flow of the conversation, making the points of discussion easier to understand.
2. It is easier to be inspired and generate new opinions and ideas.
3. Emotional arguments can be avoided.
4. Redundant statements and repetitions can be reduced.
While it overlaps in many ways with the general role of a 'scribe,' it is considered a method of 'facilitation' because it involves not just recording the content of statements, but also participating in the process, such as managing the meeting and organizing the points of discussion.
