Routledge Visual Metaphors Photocard Toolkit

This title stimulates creative thinking and promotes effective communication. A superb collection of 56 stunning images used in conjunction with a range of tasks specifically designed to stimulate thought and build ideas for participants and groups. Each task contains clear instructions and examples of the task for the facilitator/teacher/peer to model effective communication and leadership skills, and challenge participants to 'look outside the box'. The tasks have been designed to build social relationships to help individuals understand not only their behaviour, but also that of others around them, in a variety of situations. Visually stimulating participant sheets are included on the CD Rom. These task sheets contain scaffolds (key words, phrases, tables, etc) to assist each participant to achieve the outcome for each task.
