1. The Teaching Exchange Pecha Kucha Presentations

2. What is Pecha Kucha ???? Pecha Kucha is the Japanese term for the sound of conversation (“chit chat” – can be pronounced peh- chak-cha) It was conceived in Tokyo, back in 2003. by designers Astrid Klein andMark Dytham. Their original goal was to create a space where designers could share their ideas/passions with others.

3. However, knowing how dangerous it is to give a designer a microphone… they decided to put some checks in place. In order to prevent speakers from droning on and on, the Pecha Kucha format has restrictions: 20 slides, on display for 20 seconds Because of this constraint every single Pecha Kucha presentation, regardless of speaker or topic, is exactly 6 minutes and 40 seconds in length

5. First used PK this academic year in Dynamics of Tourism – as a student debate. Extremely positive feedback from students as a student experience. Like myself, main challenge was limiting text to 20 seconds. Trying to avoid words and just images is the art of the presentation. Example – debate on Digital Detox Is the Digital Detox product just a clever marketing strategy or just the revamping of an already established ‘wellness’ tourism product?

6. Possibilities for use of PK at UCB - Dissertation proposals?

7. Social Purposes: PK nights are held globally in 700 cities. Anything can be presented!! Many examples on line – some quite obscure and also thought provoking!

8. Employment applications?
