About This Event:

Join Iain McKinnon—an experienced educator and business trainer with over 20 years of experience—for a practical and inspiring workshop on mind mapping. Whether you're studying for exams, planning a project, or just want to think more clearly, mind mapping can transform the way you learn and work.

In this 90-minute online session, you'll explore:

• How to create effective mind maps on paper and digitally
• The science and psychology behind why mind mapping works
• The best apps and tools to support mind mapping on computers and tablets
• Practical strategies for using mind maps to improve memory, creativity, and organization

This workshop is especially valuable for people with dyslexia or ADHD-style thinking—offering structured, visual methods to reduce cognitive overload—but it's open to anyone who wants to learn smarter, not harder.

Who should attend:

• Students, educators, and professionals
• Lifelong learners seeking more efficient ways to capture and organize ideas
• Anyone 16+ interested in improving focus, comprehension, and productivity
