Graphical Facilitation Workshop

Graphical Faciliatation or graphical note taking is a useful skill in developing empathy. Today, we’re lucky enough to have Narayan Silva, whom I gave a brief intro here, to give us a crash course on it.

Now, with The Mulberry Tree Progressive Unschool, I’ll be getting more hands on experience in shaping what we aim to become the best, locally developed early childhood approach that will become an example for others to follow.
