SoulfightersIgniting creative potential - since 1962
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!

SoulfightersIgniting creative potential - since 1962
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”?

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

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.

workshoppen.

It’s all about ideas and how to inject creativity and guts in a workplace or project.

It’s all about image. When we know where to go, turn-
