Visualization Competence Visualization competence refers to the ability to use and arrange a variety of instruments for visual aids, presentations, and dialogues. These instruments both, support effective communication and participation, and serve as an external memory of topics elaborated on and results achieved. Visualization Visualization Visualization Methods Methods and and Instruments Instruments A A Selection Selection ■ communication and retention aids ■ graphical elements and their arrangement in terms of colors, shapes, relationships ■ ‘brainwriting’ as a poster on boards or as a mind map ■ legible writing ■ presentation, vernissage, or other types of packaging to get a message across ■ short- and long-term, two- and threedimensional media and materials ■ photo report as documentation „Y „You „Y ou see see what what I I mean“ mean“ The visualization competence lets MOVE moderators translate complex vocalized statements into simple visualized keywords that capture the essence of what was said. For all Poster to promote recycling designed by participants of a DSE- ZÖV Environmental Communication training workshop in Vietnam 51 group members, that serves an easier understanding of subject matters, opinions, and discussion results. That way, even language, intercultural communication, and psychological barriers can be overcome. Also, once visualized, the participants’ work and expressions become an external memory and the nucleus for records, photo reports, or other documents that lead to follow-up action. As humans, we learn and remember things better if we not only hear about them but also see them – either in writing or in form of a picture. Moreover, speaking, hearing, and seeing should be complemented and enhanced by doing: what what we we hear hear – we we we forget forget what what we we see see – we we remember remember what what we we do do do – we we we understand understand As a central element of communication, visualizing a verbal statement during a group process has various advantages as it ■ forces the presenter to KISS a message: Keep It Short and Simple, ■ facilitates understanding by appealing to more than one sense of perception, ■ minimizes unnecessary redundancy, ■ increases the transparency of the group process for all participants, ■ helps to ‘store’ ideas by keeping results easily accessible on posters, ■ improves interaction, as it significantly increases the number of contributions ■ encourages timid people to express themselves, ■ reveals as explicit what often restricts the quality of work implicitly: controversial views, lack of communication, misunderstandings, frictions ■ allows room to express oneself anonymously, if necessary ■ portrays facts that are difficult to explain orally – pictures tell more than words ■ raises the emotional identification with the results.
Of course, there are numerous media and communication channels for visual aids: visual or audio-visual, still or moving pictures, two- or three-dimensional, permanent or non-permanent in terms of duration, high-tech or hand-made in professional degree, prefabricated or ‘live’ in degree of preparation etc. Also, there is a great variety of materials used: overhead transparencies, slides, posters, banners, drawings, photos, maps, online multimedia or PowerPoint projection, real objects, models etc., all of which have particular advantages and disadvantages (see Will 2001, Lipp/Will 2000: 137 ff). Moreover, it is useful to distinguish between media and materials. Posters and films are materials, ‘the carriers’ of your message while walls and TV are media, ‘the vehicles’ that bring the materials and their messages to the intended audience. The ‘vehicles’ for the projection of visual aids most often used in MOVE are pinboards, blackboards, flipcharts, walls, floors, map stands, screens. To make your presentations more attractive, you should vary the use of such ‘vehicles’. For a brainstorming session in a working group, for example, you may use ‘collecting ideas on cards’ method on a pinboard one day, and ‘autumn leaves’ with A4 or A5 sheets of paper on the floor the other day. A media mix is not only most efficient in getting your message across because different media and communication channels complement and reinforce each other. In addition, the mix increases the retention rate of the participants and the extent of what they understand of all the 52 things you or a resource person say or show. The most effective visual aid will not be a sophisticated PowerPoint illustration but the images you create in the heads and hearts of the participants.

Visualization facilitates better orientation in a complex communication situation. In order to unravel these advantages, MOVE instruments are more diverse than the visual means used in conventional approaches. Conventionally, the subject matter is visualized by a trainer on a blackboard or by using an overhead or multimedia projector. Participatory approaches give participants the opportunity to visualize, too. When the moderator or a resource person raises an issue, the participants may add their questions and comments by writing them on cards. The verbal information should be visualized for reinforcement by using big letters, graphical symbols, pictures, or drawings that are easily legible for the entire group. As this approach is designed for the use by groups of up to 30 members, the size of the letters should be legible from a distance of up to eight meters. A few guidelines on how to use visual aids are explained below.
