Graphic Recording

Comment l'animer

1. 1

   Set up a large drawing surface visible to all participants.

2. 2

   As the session unfolds, capture key ideas, themes, tensions, and breakthroughs visually.

3. 3

   Use a mix of words (headlines, key quotes), images (simple icons, metaphors), and structure (arrows, containers, clusters).

4. 4

   Don't try to capture everything — synthesise. What is essential? What is the emerging picture?

5. 5

   Periodically direct participants' attention to the image: 'What do you notice? What's missing?'

6. 6

   At the end, the image serves as a shared record and conversation anchor.

7. 7

   Photograph and share the completed image with participants.

Conseils

• You don't need to be an artist.

• Bold, simple images and clear headlines are more effective than elaborate drawings.

• Start with structure (title, key sections) and fill in content as the conversation evolves.

• Practice a library of 20–30 simple visual icons before your first session.',

Variantes

Run 'sketch noting' — individual participants draw their own visual notes. Use digital tools (iPad + Procreate) for remote graphic recording shared via screen. Commission a professional graphic recorder for high-stakes summits.
