Meeting Facilitation

# 🌟 **ENGLISH VERSION** 📍 **Dilettos Pastas & Café – Perón 4217, Buenos Aires** 🗓️ **Every Saturday \| 18:00 HS – 20:00 HS** 🎟️ **Entry: 5,000 ARS (≈ 5 USD)** *** ### 🌈 **Saturdays just got better.** Let’s face it — meeting new people as an adult is weird, awkward, and sometimes straight-up intimidating. So we created a space where everything feels easy. No pressure. No scripts. No “networking voice.” Just real people, good energy, and conversations that actually go somewhere. Come grab a seat, chat with someone new, flirt if the vibe is right 😉, and enjoy that magic moment when strangers start feeling like friends. No minimum consumption — just bring your vibe, your curiosity, and let the night flow. Expect: ✨ Multilingual chaos ✨ Cultural surprises ✨ Genuine laughs ✨ Unexpected chemistry ✨ And that “how are we just meeting now?” feeling This isn’t networking. This isn’t speed dating. This is **Culture Shock Therapy** — where the city meets the world.🌍⚡ If you’ve been searching for your tribe in Buenos Aires… You’ve officially found it *** *** # 🌟 **VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOL** 📍 **Dilettos Pastas & Café – Perón 4217, Buenos Aires** 🗓️ **Todos los sábados \| 18:00 HS – 20:00 HS** 🎟️ **Entrada: $5.000 (≈ 5 USD)** *** ### 🎉 **Los sábados ahora tienen otro sabor.** Seamos honestos: hacer amigos de adulto es raro, incómodo y a veces un poco intimidante. Por eso creamos un espacio donde todo fluye. Sin presión. Sin caretas. Sin tener que “parecer interesante.” Solo buena vibra, gente auténtica y conversaciones que valen la pena. Vení, sentate, conocé a alguien nuevo, coqueteá si pinta 😉, y disfrutá ese momento en el que los desconocidos se convierten en compañía. No hay consumo obligatorio — traé tu energía, tus ganas de conectar y dejá que la noche haga lo suyo. Vas a encontrar: ✨ Caos lingüístico ✨ Choques culturales divertidos ✨ Risas reales ✨ Conexiones inesperadas ✨ Y ese famoso “¿cómo recién nos estamos conociendo?” No es networking. No es speed dating. Esto es **Culture Shock Therapy** — donde la ciudad se mezcla con el mundo. 🌍⚡ Si estabas buscando tu tribu en Buenos Aires… Acabás de encontrarla

Si podés, evitá usar el teléfono para que la desconexión sea real. ​Un cuaderno y lapicera (opcional): A veces, después de la reflexión, surgen ideas o sensaciones que está bueno dejar por escrito. ​💡 Un consejo de tus Coordinadores: ​Trata de desayunar algo liviano pero nutritivo al menos una hora antes del encuentro. Prepará tus cosas la noche anterior para que hoy salgas de tu casa con calma, ya que tu caminata terapéutica empieza desde el momento en que decidís venir.

**bikablo® Basic Day 1 Training** Each year, more than a thousand participants worldwide attend **bikablo® Basic Training:** a method of using simple visuals to facilitate groups and conversations. In a small group of like-minded people, Jill Greenbaum will provide individualized feedback and support to address your unique learning needs. When appropriate, we divide the learning group into teams at different levels. You’ll come to the realization that, “I can visualize – and use it in my job tomorrow!” **This training is for you if...** * you are still convinced that you are not at all talented and still would like to learn how to visualize * you have not yet participated in a visual facilitation training with us * you have a little experience with visualization so far and are looking for an easy way to improve your charts with graphics, symbols, simple figures, and good handwriting to make them more clear, attractive, and lively In this one day training, we focus on the basics of drawing and imagery in visual language: no matter your level of talent or skill, you will take your first visual steps up at the wall and learn how to use small details to make large spaces look clear, attractive, and lively. You'll be working both individually and in small groups.l will take plenty of time to answer your questions and guide you into the world of visual language with hints and techniques suited to figure individual progress. **Our areas of focus:** * Learn to hold the pen, draw clean lines, and structure your space on the flip chart * Create graphics and text containers/geometric shapes, objects and symbols * Discover the easy ways the bikablo® method provides to draw people, roles, groups, and situations * Use simple and fast options to color elements and spaces to support the graphic structure * Combine all the ingredients - graphics, writing, symbols, figures, and color - to create visual, translations of content and meaningful posters for different purposes. Many participants experience a renewed flow of creativity. By working with images and symbols in a new way, they discover a fresh, intuitive approach to expressing ideas. This is not only fun but also valuable—creativity fosters problem-solving, innovative thinking, and finding new perspectives in teamwork. **Lunch:** PACK A LUNCH! We're in a bit of a food desert. **Venue:** Suite 850, 1753 Pinnacle Drive, McLean, VA. **about Jill Greenbaum** https://jillgreenbaum.com Learning, change, and personal transformation are in everything I do. Over time, I have persistently discovered new ways of helping people be their best selves. NOVA Scribes has entered into a partnership with the IFVP: the International Forum of Visual Practitioners! This workshop is an IFVP Learning Lab. All IFVP members have access to Learning Labs at https://ifvpforum.circle.so/c/learning-hub/
