Graphic facilitation is an artistic process that has been around forever. Children often enjoy drawing pictures of all the exciting ideas swirling around in their brains. Students create visual mind maps instead of writing notes. This creative nature is something that is innate within everyone—graphic facilitation just brings it to the forefront.
Given the immense benefits of this unique tool and the crossover with Montessori philosophy, the American Montessori Society was eager to incorporate graphic facilitation at The Montessori Event 2023 in Boston to foster engagement, connection, and community amongst presenters and attendees.
