Mozilla Festival 2021 (March 8th – 19th, 2021)

Exploring sketchnoting as a way of communicating ideas around neurodiversity

Sketchnotes combine symbolic illustrations with text in a form of visual communication.
In this session we will explore how we can use them to communicate about neurodiversity.
You can learn the basic skills of sketchnoting using this pdf-tutorial:

Once you get the basics, try to draw something related to neurodiversity:
* A poster on a neurodiversity topic
* A cartoon about an everyday life situation
* What I want people to know about me
* A chapter of a book about neurodiversity
* Takeaways of one of the neurodiversity space sessions
* ...

I am available for all your questions on Slack and Twitter.


We're hoping that many efforts and discussions will continue after Mozfest. Share any ideas you already have for how to continue the work from your session.:
  • As part of this session people will create drawings about neurodiversity topics. These can (with permission) be shared and continue to inform the world about neurodiversity after the event.
  • If people are interested we could create a lernos sketchnoting circle (https://cogneon.github.io/lernos-sketchnoting/en/0300_Introduction/), to continue sketchnoting after Mozfest
How will you deal with varying numbers of participants in your session?:

The materials can be used independent of the number of participants, how busy I will be depends on the number of questions asked and therefor indirectly on the number of participants. But I think it will be manageable to answer within a reasonable amount of time.
