The MAPEX Doctoral Qualification Programme supports doctoral candidates in acquiring transversal skills and competencies useful for future leading tasks inside and outside of academia.
In cooperation with MARUM Center for Marine Environmental Sciences, we are organising a workshop on the creation and use of sketchnotes for academic purposes.
Workshop Description:
Sketchnotes
… are visual notes that combine drawings and text. They can be used to quickly record content and visualise it in a way that it is easy to understand and more memorable.
… can be used, for example, to illustrate the outcome of meetings, to visualise the main objectives of a research project or to make scientific content understandable for non-experts (in films, blogs, presentations, etc.).
… focus on the essentials. Drawings are therefore reduced and lack many details. Simple objects and symbols, as well as a variety of text characters, are typical of the sketchnote style.
In this course you will
... learn to draw symbols in an easy way
… discover different forms of typography
… learn how to include colours
… develop ideas for drawings and start a collection of images
… practice to combine your ears, eyes and hand
… experience situations, in which you can use sketchnotes
Target Group:
Everyone who is interested.
In the course (or shortly after the course), participants are expected to draw a sketchnoteof an aspect of their scientific work, which will then be published on the web page of MARUM/MAPEX. The sketchnote must be submitted no later than 2 weeks after the course.
You find some examples of sketchnotes that have been drawn in previous workshops here

Janine Lancker is a trainer for flipchart design, graphic recording and sketchnoting.
