I participated in the Rework summit 2010 created by Tällberg Foundation and YES.

It took place in a huge icehockey arena surrounded by beautiful nature in Leksand, Sweden. From 2-5th of June 1700 people from all over the world was gathered to explore how entrepreneurial projects can create more job opportunities for youth around the world.

I had teamed up with hosts from HUBworld and together we created HUB Rework. The HUB area was a space for informal meetings, project development, presentations and performance. It became ”the heart of the summit” as Alexander Crawford from Tällberg Foundation said in his closing speach.

My role at the HUB was to do graphic facilitation. I was hosting two crash courses where the participants could relearn how to draw.

But most of my time I spend in front of a 2 times 6 meter mural capturing conversations and sessions from the Rework program and the HUB.

Many participants sad down to look at the drawings, asked questions and took photos. It seemed as a fantastic way of communicating some of all the content from Rework 2010.
Thanks to everyone who made their own drawing on the mural and provided me with content, questions and conversations.

It has probably not escaped a lot of the blog readers that Bigger Picture is currently work with the climate summit, illustrating some of the complex issues.
There are a few other visual practitioner here, using similar tools to help create understanding. One of them is David Gillette, who does an excellent job of creating visual explanations.

As you might have noted, we like people that use visual tools to communicate a complex message. The story of stuff project is great example of this. Below you can see their latest film: The Story of Cap & Trade
