PechaKucha
Forget boring research presentations. PechaKucha is a method for giving dynamic presentations. The formula: 20 slides with mostly images and just 20 seconds per slide. A presentation lasts exactly 6 minutes and 40 seconds. The slides advance automatically.
The result? Inspiring presentations and an engaged audience. An ideal format to let different speakers have their say in a short time.
During the workshop you will learn how to give a powerful PechaKucha presentation.

-
Book (optional)
Our book ‘The floor is yours: Because life is too short for bad presentations’ contains useful presentation tips and useful tools. It is an ideal addition to this workshop.
Sample combinations
- A half-day online workshop with 10 participants, followed by two try-out sessions in smaller groups a few days later.
- A full day workshop, in combination with the book ‘The floor is yours’.
Try-out session
With a try-out session, the participants will have the opportunity to process our tips from the workshop and really apply them to their own research or project. During the session they give a shortened PechaKucha presentation en receive feedback from the instructor and fellow participants. (5 participants, 1,5-2 hours per session)
Combining the workshop and a try-out session generally produces the best results. We also offer optional video feedback.
In combination with our book
The book ‘The floor is yours: Because life is too short short for bad presentations’ is the ideal addition to our workshops. It not only deals with the topics from the workshop, but also goes into more detail, provides additional examples and offers useful tools that the reader can implement right away. A ‘must read’ according to Jan-Willem Toering, director of the Royal Netherlands Chemical Society (KNCV).
