Pecha Kucha – Gazuntite!?

Nope, not a sneeze or even similar! Pecha Kucha is the art of concise presentations: 20 slides shown for 20 seconds each (6 minutes and 40 seconds in total). The Community Planning Workshop began using this mode of presentation style as a way for each CPW student to share and update their peers on project findings, status, lessons learned, etc.

Good Pecha Kucha presentations are the ones that uncover the unexpected – an unexpected concept, an unexpected idea, an unexpected a-ha moment.  Some Pecha Kuchas tell great stories about a project or team dynamic. Some incredibly personal, some incredibly professional and some are incredibly funny, but all are very different, and they turn each project presentation into “a box of chocolates”.

Why use this format? Well, passionate students tend to talk too much about their project! Give the platform and some images to graduate planning students — or most creative people for that matter — and they’ll go on forever about their project! This fast-paced mode gives everyone in CPW class a voice to share their moment, their project perspective, and a chance learn from each other’s experiences.

The featured video is one of the voted favorites by CPW students this past winter term. Created and presented by Fábio Andrade, what was once a 20-slide presentation is now a fabulous video for you to enjoy!
