Mind map
A mind map visually organizes ideas and concepts, allowing you to explore relationships and structure information. This method helps in brainstorming and clarifying thoughts by connecting related themes.
How to run it
- 1
Write the central topic or concept in the middle of a blank page.
- 2
Identify related ideas and draw branches extending from the central topic.
- 3
Label each branch with an idea and introduce sub-branches for further details.
- 4
Use colors and shapes to group similar ideas and highlight connections.
Tips
Encourage participants to use images and symbols to make connections clearer.
Keep ideas brief to maintain focus and clarity in the map.
Review the mind map as a group to ensure all ideas are captured and understood.
Variations
Use digital tools to create an online mind map for remote collaboration. Alternatively, have participants create individual mind maps and then combine them into a group map.
