Use of Rich PictureSuleiman Saker A rich picture is a tool that helps people view the state of the situation from a worldview. It facilitates the discussion since using drawings allows the participants to express the idea as in reality. The process of drawing the rich picture requires the facilitator to have excellent analytical skills and abilities to understand the culture and the politics within the situation which is required for the next stages. |
