Ya Kun

While at EuViz 2014 Berlin I got an email reminding me of a men's breakfast meeting for Saturday 2 August in Singapore.

"Why not ask to do GR there?" came the inspired thought.

The organising committee had seen me do GR for the Friday lunch meetings.

I popped the idea to them and they agreed.

Permission was soon granted by the speaker.

I asked to check out the venue.

Me doing scout around 24 hours before event.

From the checkout I planned to use paper lined foam board on easel.

Proceeded to supply store: Art Friend,

10 mm foam core board 

Kryplon easy tack

Art craft paper.

Weapons selected and assembled.

Paper cut to size.

Sticky stuff sprayed on.

Paper attached to board.

Me fumbling with 4 pens 

(In the end I had one pen in hand and the others on a nearby table.

Part Two

The speaker and the participants enjoyed the chart. Many made complementary remarks and took photos. 

Pat myself on the back:

Three greats and a wish

Great pre-gig preparation

Listening out for audience reactions

Confident in front of crowd

Wish more organizational flow; arrows?

On the flight back from Euroviz 2014 I decided to do an A4 landscape mindmap of my experience of our IFVP experience.

In one word "Braingasm"

The metaphor borrowed from First Nations (North America ) resonated with my holistic outlook to community development.
