This will be a form of workshop.

First part is about showing a presentation with no visuals and then showing one with prepared visuals and discussing through the differences.

Then is exercise time where the group is paired and is given example presentations where they need to decide where what visuals would be good. They are drawing them (yes, they are, doesn’t matter the level of their abilities it’s about thinking what is needed where to best present the message).

Then it’s discussing results and trying to establish all the benefits that incorporating visuals give.

Then there’s more Q&A and more practice in 3s where two people listen to 3rd person’s talking and they try to create visuals forthe presentation (notes). Then they create them and we look at differences/similarities what has been drawn. Then we discuss importance of visualizing the important moments in the presentation.
