What is Visual-Facilitation-Method™ (VFM) 

Visual-Facilitation-Method™ (VFM) is an international methodology developed by Visual Thinking School (Netherlands) to help trainers, facilitators, and coaches deliver learning that is visual, experiential, story-driven, and game-based.

It transforms any training content — frameworks, concepts, processes, or models — into a experiencial learning journey participants can see, play, apply, and remember.

VFM is built on three dynamic practices that collectively enable the P.L.A.Y. experiential learning approach (Present, Live, Action, Yield)

1. Sketchnotes — Capture and simplify complex ideas visually so participants can instantly see the content.
2. Visual Storyboarding — Map sessions as engaging narratives that keep people involved and make the content meaningful.
3. Game Plays — Turn learning into action through structured games, simulations, and interactive debriefs so participants actually live the content.

No drawing or art background needed — only a willingness to make learning more human, visual, and interactive.

How VFM Converts Traditional Training into Experiential Learning 

The P.L.A.Y. Experiencial Learning Approach — Present • Live • Apply • Yield
A wholesome training experience happens when a trainer guides participants through all four phases of learning — not just explaining content, but helping them see it, experience it, use it, and turn it into action. We call it  P.L.A.Y.  

P — Present the Content
Make any topic simple and memorable using visual storytelling, sketchnotes and storyboards.

L — Live the Content
Help participants experience the content through Gamebox-style activities and facilitated play.

A — Apply the Content
Guide learners to solve real problems using divergence–convergence methods and post-it facilitation.

Y — Yield Results
Debrief visually and help participants convert learning into clear actions and behaviour change.

Don’t just teach content. Make participants see it, play it, and apply it.
