Communicarda vs Make it easy

DIGITAL IMAGE CARDS FOR PARTICIPATION IN COMMUNICARDA SESSIONS The Communicarda App (previously called, the CCS VFE Cards) is used by people participating in facilitated Communicarda sessions (previously called, CCS Virtual Facilitation Environment sessions). When connected to a Communicarda session, a set of digital image cards is activated on their device, allowing a participant to select cards, add annotations, and share their choices with others. This provides a similar experience to traditional paper-based card selection activities. Created by CCS Corporation, the well-known makers of CCS Cards, the approach can be used for fully virtual sessions, in-person meetings and a hybrid events. Internet connection is required for the App to function. ABOUT IMAGE CARDS Image cards for facilitation, coaching, training and conversation, are cards containing specially chosen images (photos, illustrations, symbols, and sometimes a few words). The images are chosen for their capacity to trigger thoughts, memories, ideas and emotions in conversations and self-reflection. Most people find that image cards make it easier to have fresh, honest and engaging conversations, by providing a focus for creative inspiration, deeper discussion and improved listening. Communicarda is made by CCS Corporation, an Australian company that has been making products and activities that turn business meetings and family gatherings into moments of enjoyment and meaningful connection for over 25 years. We like to make things that make things happen. Find out more at: https://ccs.cards and https://communicarda.com
