About facilitation
Facilitation is a process of enabling groups to work cooperatively and effectively together, and it emphasises the involvement of all participants in a meaningful way.
The facilitator acts as a catalyst for better group interaction. Her/his role isn’t about providing knowledge or ideas but helping participants make better use of the knowledge and ideas that they collectively possess.
Whenever possible, in our workshops we use visual facilitation too, in order to engage participants in visual thinking. It supports clarity and activates deeper understanding and critical thinking.

Books
Written by Dijana Novak Krešić, who has a passion for writing small books with big messages
I love writing in the “small book” format, each tackling one big thing at a time.
I always use visual language, so my books are full of drawings, animated cartoons and illustrations.
Therefore they are great conversation starters and association triggers, a fantastic tool for diving into a deeper understanding of sensitive topics, like diversity, equity, and inclusion, and our own understanding and experiences with them.
Feel free to use them in your workshops.
A small book about biases.
Containing 15 animated cartoons explaining the most common biases.
Using visual storytelling and introducing Lena, an ordinary girl who suddenly grew a weird superpower, this book tackles diversity, fitting in, finding support, and the good roots for one’s happiness.
It aims to serve as a conversation trigger.
