We all take countless notes in our day-to-day work. Be it from presentations, meetings or to understand complex tasks. Unfortunately, most of these notes suffer from the “long and illegible” syndrome, which is why they quickly end up in the waste paper - so they can no longer help us to remember the important things for which we created them.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to take a different kind of note: Sketchnotes. You will find out what advantages they have and in which areas of your everyday work you can integrate them.
During the workshop, you will get to know the core elements of sketchnotes, get tips on how to get started with sketchnoting and learn some useful symbols.
To the pens, get set, go!
As a goodie for the workshop, you will receive the book “Sketchnotes in der IT” by Lisa Maria Moritz.

The sketchnote training is a great motivation to get into sketchnoting - or to get back into it. The alternation between short explanations and lots of practice made me want to continue right after the workshop. Thank you very much!
