Workshop
Training workshop in visual communication for environment and sustainable development. Making a chart or a diagram is not hard. But making powerful, engaging and easily understood graphics in science communication is a true challenge. With environment and development issues, our task becomes complicated by an almost infinite depth and complexity. Finding the right balance between academic correctness and oversimplification is not easy.
Learn how to make the kind of visual material that is picked up by bloggers, used in press releases and ends up in presentations!
In our full-day training workshop, you will learn how to create charts, diagrams and maps that capture your audience`s attention and expand the reach and impact of your information.
Our workshop is designed for anyone who works with environmental and sustainable development issues, from researchers to journalists.
The workshops organized by Nordpil, brings in extensive experience in maps, charts and diagrams and other forms of visual science communication - as well as experience in environmental and sustainable development issues.
Workshop Program
The workshop consists of a full-day intensive program split into separate sessions. Rather than focusing on technical proficiency in software handling, the workshop takes a platform-agnostic perspective and focuses on the background and theory as well as the what to achieve (and why), but not necessarily the how.
The day ends with a show`n`tell session where we view, discuss and analyze examples of good and bad visual communication, with samples provided by the participants and the organizers. The samples are drawn from popular media, newspapers and the work of the participants.
All teaching material presented in the workshop is shared with the participants, to minimize the need for extensive note-taking.
The instruction is available in English (primarily) and Swedish. We are willing to work with interpreters if needed.
