Data Literacy 101 - 36221

Data is everywhere - in our systems, reports, dashboards, and daily decisions. Data Literacy 101 is an interactive workshop designed to help participants build confidence in reading, interpreting, and communicating with data, no matter their technical background. In this session, participants will explore the fundamentals of data literacy through real-world examples from our organization’s context. We’ll demystify terms like data sources, metrics, trends, and visualizations, and practice turning raw numbers into meaningful insights. Participants will learn how to ask better data questions, identify common pitfalls in interpretation, and use data to tell clear, compelling stories that drive action. This session is hands-on and discussion based. No prior data experience is required - just curiosity and an open mind!
