Visual note-taking (sometimes called sketch-noting) adds doodles, sketches and symbols to your note-taking to increase focus in the moment, notice the most important parts of a talk, meeting, lecture, video, book or experience, and improve how much you remember in the long term.

It’s about capturing ideas, not making great art, so don’t worry if you feel like you ‘can’t draw’. Anyone who struggles with making easy-to-understand notes can benefit from learning about visual note-taking. In this workshop you will:

- Explore why visual note-taking supports focus, memory and learning

- Practice listening for important information

- Discover ways to structure and design visual notes- Practice drawing simple recognisable images and icons to represent your ideas

- Experiment to find your own style of visual note-taking

- Have fun!

– lets face it, doodling is more fun that writing

If you’ve ever been told off for doodling in class, or panicked over unusable notes when looking back through them, this workshop could be just what you need. Materials will be provided, but please feel free to bring along your favourite pens and notebook if you’d prefer to use them.
