VizThink / San Francisco

Det var første gang at The Visual Thinking Community var samlet. Sådan blev det i hvert

fald proklameret den 28. januar i The Ballromm på Hotel Westin i hjertet af San Francisco.

370 mennesker, der alle – på en eller anden måde – ar-bejder med visuel facilitering sad bænket ved runde borde, hvide duge og en ordentlig stak papir + mar-kere – klar til at indtage rummet og de næste to

dages sessions. Konferencen blev afviklet med plenum morgen og eftermiddag – og 4 samtidige breakout

sessions før og efter frokost. Så det var desværre umuligt at komme til alle de spændende sessions.

DAVE GREY, der er direktør i XPLANE

(http://xplane.com/), ”the visual thin-

king company”. Tjek dem ud – de leverer

VISUALS til virksomheder og organisa-

tioner, tegninger, der sammenfatter og

kommunikerer komplekse

sammenhænge.

Highlights for mig var...

DAVID SIBBET, The Grove, (http://www.grove.

com/) der i 30 år har arbejdet med ”Process

tools for visualizing change”. En af de ting han

sagde under den session var, at konsulentens

opgave er: ”to serve groups by listening”. The

Grove har udviklet visuelle, fortrykte modeller,

der anvendes dynamisk under forskellige typer af

workshops. Herhjemme er det fx kaospilot-

erne, der i en årrække har anvendt

Sibbets modeller og tænkning.

Truly a wonderfull experi-ence. Read more on my blog – but I just want to say

thanks to all of the great people I met. I am in contact with some – and will be post-

ing more stuff in english. Hope to see you in Geneva,

when VizThink goes Europe!

Mødte også en masse fantastiske mennesker – blandt andre Ole Qvist Sørensen, der med http://www.biggerpicture.dk/ har arbejdet med visuel facilitering i DK i en del år. Ole har inviteret til det første netværksmøde for Visual Practitioners i Skandinavien den 25. april 2008. Soulfighters deltager!

A workshop for managers in youthclubs. We went to Utrecht and Amsterdam in

Holland to check out diffe-rent projects as well as ad-dressing the problem: ”How

do we develop a new club experience for the young

kids”?

Klubledere: INSPIRATION Utrecht / Amsterdam

fra den 4. til den 7. februar havde Soulfighters designet en inspirationstur/WORKSHOP for ungdomsklubledere. Turen blev arrangeret i samarbejde med Floris Koot, (http://www.foolservice.nl/). Ho-

vedkvarteret for os var en gammel fabrik i hjertet af Utrecht, der nu er bygget om til

iværksætterkontorer . og på 7. sal havde vi lejet et mødelokale med

udsigt over byen.

Grundspørgsmålet, deltagerne skulle besvare, var: ”Hvordan sikrer vi, at klubben et et attraktivt og ønsket sted, for de unge at være”?

Med det spørgs-

mål som tema, blev deltager-

ne blandt andet

udsat for...

”Fortæl om din HELT – da du var 13 – og den helt du har i dag” -

”Omsæt jeres udfordringer til en filmtitel – og tegn filmpla-

katen” - ”udarbejde 5 konkrete tiltag, som I kan sætte i værk, når i kommer hjem”. Turen inde-hold besøg på forskellige unge-projekter – især med fokus på sociale problemer, integration

og uddannelse.

Den 15. og 16. januar havde 24 håbefulde grafikere taget plads i køen udenfor ek-saminationslokalet på Erhvervsakade-

miet i Ålborg – og i det sidste desperate forsøg på at få nerverne i ro, skulle

de bevæge sig gennem et Mac fyld rum ned til det grønne klæde og fremlægge deres idé og projekt. En fantastisk op-levelse at se talent og ideer og dedika-tion. Men nerver og halvhjertet forbe-redelse spillede desværre også nogle af banen. Sådan er det – så op på hesten

til dem vi sagde ”OMMER” til.

Examiner at a Business College/Design Education in Aalborg/Denmark. A lot of talent showed up and some – unfortunately – not-so-well-prepared as well. Thats the way it goes! Back to the books and let’s see another layout!

Solution Camp 2008 / UddannelseskonferenceDen 7. april er der inviteret til uddannelseskonference i Nordjylland. Politikere, skoleledere, vejledere og andre med interesse og arbejde indenfor feltet er samlet for at diskutere fremtiden for ungeuddannelserne i Vendsyssel.

...med det formål at frem-

kalde de unges tanker om ud-dannelse og de ting, de anser som

væsentlige for at sikre, at de unge ikke dropper ud.

Som op-takt til

konferencen blev Soul-fighters bedt om at

designe en proces med 10 unge...

10 unge - inklusive et dokumentationsteam,

der optog det hele på video – arbejdede et døgn med med

spørgsmålet:

Det er nemlig hovedproblematikken i forhold til den nationale plan om at 95% af en ungeårgang skal gennemføre en ungdomsuddannelse. SO-LUTION CAMP’en belv afholdt som et 24 timers inter-nat.

”Hvad er dine ople-velser med uddan-

nelse og hvordan kan man sikre...

I løbet af de 24 timer fik de unge produceret 77 spørgsmål...

at flere unge gen-nemfører en ung-

domsuddannelse”?15 ”Vidste du at...”, 9 statements, 5 forskellige medier...

...et symbol og en event, der samler det hele og som skal præsenteres på konferencen.

Der deltog unge fra gym-nasium, handelsskole og

produktionsskole – unge, der både er i gang med og som har været droppet ud af uddan-

nelsessystemet.

A camp for 10 young kids – 24 hours – preparing an event and visualizing their thoughts on education – everything to be

launched at a conference, where 100 grown-ups are going to

work on the issue: ”Why does kids drop out of school”? ”And what should be done to prevent it”?

...diskutere og udvikle

konturerne af DEN KREATIvE BY!

Workshoppen blev faciliteret af Charles Leadbeater – tjek ham fx ud på TED: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/63 – hvor

han taler om ”The rise of the amateur professional”.

A workshop for 20 teachers con-cerning their team organisation,

the way they work together and how to make change happen.

Hjorring Ny 10. / WORKSHOP / Ny energi i teamarbejdet/For lærerkollegiet på Hjørring Ny 10. (HNX) blev den 12. februar lidt anderledes end normalt.

Det sædvanlige møde i Stor-teamet var nemlig...

afløst...

af en workshop om – Sorteamets mødeform, beslutningskompeten-ce, forandringspoten-

tiale og energi.

POST-IT øvelser, tegneværk-sted, billed søgning og alterna-tive gruppe dannelser var nogle

af redskaberne.

Soulfighters er nu koblet på opfølgning af beslutningerne fra

workshoppen.
