Join us on September 19, from 12-1pm ET for an in-person Introduction to Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) during Design Week Rhode Island! Visual Thinking Strategies is a facilitation methodology that uses art or visual stimuli to encourage group participation and critical thinking.This 60-minute, in-person workshop offers a foundation to Visual Thinking Strategies. Attendees will leave with a solid foundation in the VTS methodology. This workshop is not just for design and creative professionals. VTS has proven value across industries, including business, healthcare, and education, and helps leaders move away from “command and control” to truly unlock their team’s collective potential by fostering inclusivity, psychological safety, and collaboration in the workplace. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding and comfort with utilizing VTS in the workplace and in their leadership practice.

The session will be led by Hailey Group VTS@Work-certified facilitator Catherine Clarke. Participation is limited to 12 attendees. Admission to Providence College (PCG) galleries is always free. The cost of attending the VTS workshop at PCG covers the cost of facilitation and is not associated with visiting PCG.
