Graphic Recording and Visual Facilitation have large areas of overlap, but they are not identical. While graphic recording can also be used for documentation at large events with hundreds of participants, visual facilitation is better suited for smaller groups. The visual facilitator takes on the role of a „visual moderator“ who specifically asks for input from the participants, asks questions and works together with the group on visual solutions. The visual facilitator usually tries to transform abstract ideas into concrete, manageable concepts.
