Activity
Fascinated by graphic design, Tobias Voss joined forces with Carlito B. Arellano to create this learning activity in the Graphic Art style. In order to be successful as a group, you need to communicate your way of seeing things, to listen and to coordinate. A multi-layered, fascinating story emerges, a roller coaster ride through realities. This intelligent learning project is ideally suited to starting a group process or as an energiser for any occasion.

How It’s Done
Each of the participants is given one of the round large-format picture cards that, together, form a coherent picture story. They are not allowed to show their card to the others. By describing their scene, the participants discover the correct order of the pictures. At the end, all of the pictures are placed simultaneously on the floor. The group can then enjoy the visual ‘wow effect’.
