About our Visual Facilitation in Youth Work Visual facilitation is a method of using visual practices (like: drawings, create images, using colours, etc.) to support a group’s learning process and to lead groups towards a goal. Let’s discover the power of visual imagery as a facilitation method. Let’s build together a visual vocabulary and find out the application of mind mapping tool and Info Flow.
