Interactive, practice-oriented workshop

The digital transformation introduces both challenges and opportunities in visual communication, which the GIZ seeks to harness deliberately. But how can we effectively do so? In small group sessions, we assumed the roles of visual communication producers, discussing topics such as how to prepare for assignments, how to write effective briefings, what considerations apply during the entire process, and which ethical and legal requirements accompany us throughout.

The goal of the workshop was to equip participants with a comprehensive understanding of the theoretical framework underlying ethical visual communication while providing practical insights into the hurdles faced in our day-to-day communication and production practices.

The workshop on "Facilitating Change in Visual Communication" proved highly beneficial for the GIZ. Participants engaged in meaningful discussions, gaining insights into the challenges and opportunities of digital transformation in visual communication. The workshop enabled the exploration of new approaches and strategies, aligned with the GIZ's commitment to ethics, sustainability, and fair image usage. Crucial issues such as discrimination and privacy were addressed, prompting the GIZ to reflect on and improve its practices. The workshop fostered collaboration, valuable connections, and inspired the GIZ to continue advancing its fair visual communication.
