Mind Mapping

• To help students achieve clarity, better organise their thoughts and develop greater control of their thinking processes
• To demonstrate the effectiveness of combining words and images to learn and retain information
• To boost understanding and recall
• To encourage creativity while improving communication and presentation skills
• To build excellent planning, problem-solving and analytical skills

Students leave our Mind Mapping Course with a full suite of practical skills that they can apply directly to their learning journey.

Students are better able to:

• Connect visual and spatial elements to increase brain efficiency
• Control thinking processes and reason with clarity
• Access planning, organisational and problem-solving skills
• Take effective notes, communicate more clearly – both verbally and in writing – and present more confidently
• Access creative and analytical ways of thinking

Mind Mapping can be held onsite or in a venue of your choice. It is ideal for groups of any size. Students will learn how to use mind maps to enhance their learning and recall, and everyone will create their own mind maps, experiencing the effects of this tool first-hand.

Every session is tailored to the group and can cover the basics of note-taking, as well as further extension into using Mind Mapping as a creative and planning tool.

Students will need a desk, paper, a selection of coloured pens/pencils and their imagination. We’ll provide all the tools and techniques, including keywording, encapsulation, branching ideas, planning, creating, use of colour and shape, analysis and, ultimately, the creation of powerful mind maps.

We recommend sitting students around tables in groups of four to six in a spacious room that is conducive to learning.

Your Positively You event can be broken down as follows, depending on your timetable:

• 4 x 1-hour workshops
• 3 x 80-minute workshops
• 2 x 2-hour workshops

Each workshop can accommodate no more than 100 different students.

Mind Mapping can be delivered face-to-face or online.
