Pecha Kucha
Pecha Kucha (pronounced petscha-k u cha, IPA : [ pe̞t͡ɕa̠kɯ̟ᵝt͡ɕa̠ ] , Japanese spelling ぺちゃくちゃ ( Hiragana ) or rare ペチャクチャ ( Katakana ), meaning "constantly yapping", "constantly talking"), also: Petscha -Kutscha , is a lecture technique in which images (slides) suitable for an oral lecture are projected onto a wall. The format is specified: 20 images (slides), which are faded in for 20 seconds each. The total time of 6:40 minutes is also the maximum speaking time and ends there. Pecha Kucha is a registered word mark in Germany and Austria on PechaKucha, Inc., Chicago Ill .
overview
Pecha Kucha was first used in Tokyo in February 2003 by architects Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham as part of a design event and has meanwhile found widespread use in business and at universities. The format is now also used for communication in museums, for example in the Stadtmuseum Berlin since 2012 .
The topics are mainly in the areas of design , art, fashion, culture and architecture .
The advantages of this technology lie in the short, concise presentation with rigid time constraints, which make lengthy lectures and the associated fatigue of the listener impossible from the outset ("death by powerpoint" syndrome). The KISS principle is followed by using as little text as possible.
procedure
In this form of presentation, the number of images is set at 20, as is the 20-second duration of the projection time per image. Several lectures in a row are given in so-called Pecha Kucha Nights (PKN).
Spread, Pecha Kucha nights
The presentation format of these keynote speeches has expanded further since February 2003 - over 800 cities worldwide are now part of the Pecha Kucha Network and since 2004 these have also been held in Europe.
In Germany there are over 20 official Pecha Kucha nights in different cities. In order to organize an official Pecha Kucha night, the organizers have to go through an informal application process and exchange a so-called "handshake agreement". Pecha Kucha nights must be organized on a voluntary basis without the intention of making a profit.
On a typical Pecha Kucha night, between 8 and 14 presentations are given. Many speakers are professional designers, but there are also presentations about travel, research projects, hobbies, collections, etc.
